Our read on BETZ
DA pure play on sportsbooks and online casinos, run by a manager rather than an index. On a shelf crowded with video game and esports funds, BETZ is the one that stays on the betting slip.
The Fund seeks total return through active investment in equity securities of companies involved in sports betting and iGaming.
Why people hold it
- Undiluted theme: the fund seeks total return by investing in sports betting and iGaming companies, not a broad consumer basket where the sportsbooks are a rounding error.roundhillinvestments.com
- Actively managed, so the roughly 40-stock lineup can be reshaped as operators rise and fade, instead of waiting on an index reconstitution calendar.
- A different bet than its cohort neighbors: ESPO, HERO and NERD center on video games and esports, while BETZ is built around wagering and online casino names.
- One of the early arrivals to the theme, trading since June 2020, with a live track record through the post-legalization buildout rather than a fresh launch.
Worth knowing
- The 0.75% expense ratio sits on the expensive side of the gaming and betting shelf, the price of an active manager over a cheaper index product.
- Roughly 40 stocks tied to one industry means moves can be sharp in both directions, and single-name news carries real weight here.
- Trades lighter than the largest thematic funds, so bid-ask spreads can be wider, and payouts come at most once or twice a year rather than monthly.
