Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
The predecessor ETF has a concentrated portfolio, "typically a 20-50 position common equity portfolio", according to its fact sheet. Its daily holdings are here: https://fpag.fpa.com/#holdings
I haven't taken a close look at the filing(s), but a cursory glance (ERs, managers, etc.) suggests that this is merely a restructuring of the ETF. It is currently "a non-diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust III" and will become "a series of FPA Funds Trust" with all the legal implications that change carries. Day-to-day, current ETF and "new" version don't look different.
If you're interested, why not check out the ETF now? It's been around since December 16, 2021. https://fpag.fpa.com//
Steve Rommick is also one of the managers on another allocation fund, SOR. Source Capital is an allocation CEF that has beaten the 60/40 bogey the fund uses over the past 1 yr and 3 yr periods, but it has not done so for longer periods. Rommick didn't start managing it until 2015, FWIIW. SOR at last report held 20% in non-US stocks. Hard to say what overlap there might be among FPACX, SOR, and the new ETF.
