Five new equity ETFs launch today, with fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%

Five new equity ETFs listed on September 29, and the fee spread decides which ones are worth owning.

Global X’s LLM ETF charges a 0.75% net expense ratio, three times what Jensen’s U.S. Quality Index ETF costs, so AI-thematic packaging still commands a clear premium over plain factor strategies.

The three funds priced in between are Hartford Alpha Capture International Growth ETF, William Blair Emerging Markets Equity ETF, and VegaShares Trillions ETF, leaving Jensen’s fund as the cost leader of the group.

For anyone weighing AI-thematic exposure, that 0.75% fee is the compounding drag to scrutinize before buying.
