It’s rare that I encounter the term “quantamental” twice in the same set of filings. Okay, it’s unheard of. I think they just made it up to irk me.

It’s also rare that Vanguard launches two new funds, much less the global version of two of their most legendary funds: Wellesley and Wellington. It’s hard to imagine why these won’t be $10 billion funds in, oh, about a year.

Calvert Ultra-Short Income NextShares

Calvert Ultra-Short Income NextShares will seek to maximize income, to the extent consistent with preservation of capital, through investment in short-term bonds and income-producing securities. The plan is to invest in a combination of floating rate securities and ultra-short bonds that pass Calvert’s financial, social and environmental screens. The fund is structured as an actively managed ETF. The fund will be managed by Vishal Khanduja and Brian S. Ellis. The initial expense ratio is 0.38% and you may buy as much or as little as you like.

Chiron SMid Opportunities Fund

Chiron SMid Opportunities Fund will seek long-term capital appreciation. The plan is to use a quantamental approach to construct a global small- to mid-cap equity portfolio.

Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund

Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund will seek dividend income and long-term capital appreciation.

Lazard Equity Franchise Portfolio

Lazard Equity Franchise Portfolio will seek total return consisting of appreciation and income.

USA Mutuals/WaveFront Quantamental Long/Short Opportunities Fund
