The ETF.net ADDS Grade
Score 37 of 100 sits in the D band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on ADDS
DIndex funds have to buy a stock the day it joins the S&P 500. ADDS is built to own the candidates before that happens and sell into the add: a trade long run by institutional desks, now in an ETF wrapper.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through active investment primarily in U.S.-listed equity securities identified as likely candidates for near-term inclusion in major U.S. equity indices.
Why people hold it
- The mechanism is unusually specific: own likely additions to the S&P 500, 400, 600 and Nasdaq-100, then exit at the market-on-close on the day the stock joins its target index.app.hedgeye.com
- By rule it never holds a current S&P 500 member, so it is not a large-cap fund in disguise. Roughly 40 names, a 20% per-name cap, monthly rebalance cycle.app.hedgeye.com
- Holdings are picked on inclusion probability rather than sector or factor views, so the portfolio looks nothing like a typical active US equity fund.app.hedgeye.com
- Run by a portfolio manager whose career is in index-event trading, including buy-side roles and heading ETF trading for the Americas at a global bank.app.hedgeye.com
Worth knowing
- Brand new: launched in 2026 by a newly formed adviser with no prior ETF experience, a risk Hedgeye flags in its own materials.app.hedgeye.com
- The 0.70% fee matches the active US equity median, but broad active core funds like DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) charge a small fraction of it.
- A small, lightly traded fund concentrated in roughly 40 positions, so single-stock moves land hard and the spread deserves a look before you trade.app.hedgeye.com
