About this ETF
The Brinsmere Fund Growth ETF (TBFG) operates as an actively managed "fund of funds." Its primary objective is pursued through investments across a globally diversified spectrum of equity and bond markets. The fund’s portfolio is dynamically adjusted using two distinct, proprietary strategies, which were devised by its investment adviser, The Milwaukee Company. These two independent strategies, known as the Systematic Market Beta Strategy (SMB) and the Classic Asset Allocation Revisited Strategy (CAAR), are responsible for methodically rebalancing the ETF's underlying investments. This rebalancing is performed in accordance with a specialized set of proprietary risk management techniques.

No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
