Argent

Argent stands out from a cost perspective for open-end and exchange-traded funds, demonstrating a firm-wide commitment to minimizing costs and maximizing investors' returns. On average, fees for the firm's funds are in the second-lowest quintile of category peers. Experienced longest-tenured management is a core advantage that Argent has over peer firms. With 20 years of average asset-weighted tenure across the group, it is clear that they've been put through their paces. Argent has undergone a bout of turnover in the past five years, as seen in its lower-than-average portfolio manager retention. This is a concern, as long-term stability tends to support positive results.
