Baron Global Durable Advantage ETF

Market cap $10.5M

Up over 20% over the past 12 months through June 8, 2026, the MSCI ACWI Growth Index continues its upward trajectory, despite geopolitical frictions that temporarily set the index back earlier this year.

Baron Capital continues to grow its active ETF lineup with today's introduction of Baron Risk Optimized Large Cap ETF™ (BROL). The ETF builds upon the firm's commitment to long-term growth investing with a targeted focus on U.S. large-cap companies that exhibit durable competitive advantages, significant growth opportunities, exceptional management teams, and compelling valuations.

U.S. stock market valuations appear stretched amid greater volatility in early 2026. As such, investors are increasingly turning to international opportunities for diversification.

Active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) came to the forefront in 2025 with the launch of a record number of funds catering to active strategies. 2026 could bring another year for heavy active ETF demand from investors.
