Frequently Asked Questions

ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are baskets of securities that trade on stock exchanges like individual stocks. They can hold a variety of underlying assets and may be designed to track a specific index or be actively managed. 

ETFs trade throughout the day on stock exchanges, with prices fluctuating. In contrast, mutual funds are priced once daily, based on their Net Asset Value (NAV) at the end of the trading day. Mutual funds may have minimum investment thresholds for an investor to buy, while ETFs typically do not. ETFs may be considered more tax efficient than mutual funds, which can generate capital gains for shareholders when the fund manager sells securities, potentially creating a tax burden. ETFs may have lower expense ratios than some mutual funds.​

There are many types of ETFs, including equity, fixed income, and specialty ETFs, as well as passive and actively managed options. Alger offers its own unique range of ETFs with a focus on growth equities.​​​

An Active or Actively Managed ETF is managed by a portfolio manager and investment team who make investment decisions based on their individual investment philosophies. A Passive or Systematic ETF typically seeks to track an index and has a standardized investment methodology that does not change.​​​

​​ETF holdings are typically listed on the fund’s website.

Risk Disclosures: Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks as their prices tend to be higher in relation to their companies’ earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political, and economic developments. Investing in companies of small and medium capitalizations involves the risk that such issuers may have limited product lines or financial resources, lack management depth, or have limited liquidity. A significant portion of assets will be concentrated in securities in related industries, and may be similarly affected by adverse developments and price movements in such industries. The Sub-Adviser's use of an environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") rating agency to implement the investment strategy may result in the selection or exclusion of securities for reasons other than financial performance and the strategy may underperform strategies that do not utilize an ESG rating agency or employ another type of ESG investment strategy. In evaluating a particular issuer’s ESG rating, as well as the account's weighted average ESG rating, the Sub-Adviser relies exclusively on the ESG rating agency and, therefore, is dependent upon information and data from the ESG rating agency that may be incomplete or inaccurate, or that may present conflicting information and data with respect to an issuer than other third party ESG data providers utilized throughout the industry. Assets may be focused in a small number of holdings, making them susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than a more diversified portfolio. A significant portion of assets may be invested in securities of companies in related sectors, and may be similarly affected by economic, political, or market events and conditions and may be more vulnerable to unfavorable sector developments. The Alger 35 ETF, Alger AI Enablers & Adopters ETF, Alger Concentrated Equity ETF, and Alger Weatherbie Enduring Growth ETF are classified as “non-diversified funds” under federal securities laws because they can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified fund. Active trading may increase transaction costs, brokerage commissions, and taxes, which can lower the return on investment. At times, cash may be a larger position in the portfolio and may underperform relative to equity securities. There is no guarantee that the Alger Russell Innovation Fund’s investment results will have a high degree of correlation to the Alger Russell Innovation Index (“ARII”) or that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Fund’s value will generally decline when the performance of the securities within the ARII declines. Investing in innovative companies may not be successful. The Fund may in invest companies that do not currently derive nor may never derive revenue from innovation or developing technologies. To the extent the ARII is concentrated, a significant portion of the Fund’s assets will be concentrated in securities in related industries, and may be similarly affected by adverse developments and price movements in such industries. The Fund is not “actively” managed and performance could be lower than actively managed funds. Because the Fund equally weights its holdings and rebalances its holdings quarterly, it may incur increased transaction costs, brokerage commissions, and taxes, which can lower the return on investment.

ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (“NAV”), as a result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The Fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchase or selling ETF shares. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility and disruption in the creation and/or redemption process of the Fund. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than NAV when you buy shares of the Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those shares in the secondary market. The Manager cannot predict whether shares will trade above (premium), below (discount) or at NAV. The Fund may effect its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than for in-kind securities. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in Fund shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind. Brokerage fees and taxes will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed shares in-kind. Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the shares of the Fund. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund.

Prior to December 2, 2024, Alger Weatherbie Enduring Growth ETF, Alger Mid Cap 40 ETF, and Alger 35 ETF operated as non-transparent ETFs and were limited in the types of investments in which they could invest. This is because only exchange traded securities were permitted.

Companies involved in, or exposed to, AI-related businesses may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel as they face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and many depend significantly on retaining and growing their consumer base. These companies may be substantially exposed to the market and business risks of other industries or sectors, and may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting those companies, industries or sectors, as well as by loss or impairment of intellectual property rights or misappropriation of their technology. Companies that utilize AI could face reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and/or an adverse effect on business operations as content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications produce may be deficient, inaccurate, biased, misleading or incomplete, may lead to errors, and may be used in negligent or criminal ways. AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the future growth. AI companies, especially smaller companies, tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology.
