ASCE Allspring SMID Core ETF

About this ETF

The Allspring SMID Core ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to pursue long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small- and mid-cap U.S. companies. Its core strategy blends quantitative models with fundamental analysis to identify high-quality firms with robust earnings momentum, strong management, and competitive positioning. The fund's portfolio typically consists of approximately 50 carefully selected stocks diversified across major economic sectors, relying on proprietary multifactor models that emphasize quality, value, and momentum factors to rank and select holdings. Unlike passive ETFs that track a benchmark, this ETF takes a high-conviction, research-driven approach, aiming to capture alpha while maintaining a disciplined buy-and-sell framework. The Allspring SMID Core ETF is part of Allspring Global Investments’ suite of actively managed products, offering investors daily transparency, tax efficiency, and liquidity. It is specifically positioned for those seeking exposure to the dynamic segments of the U.S. equity market through a tactical allocation to small and mid-cap equities, guided by seasoned portfolio managers with decades of industry experience.
