Our read on CLOU

ETF.net Research

DMost cloud funds buy the software. CLOU also buys the buildings: its index reaches SaaS, PaaS and IaaS names plus data-center REITs and edge hardware, in a compact global basket. The wider net comes at a premium fee.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index. The index covers companies positioned to benefit from cloud adoption through SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, managed storage, data-center REITs, and cloud or edge infrastructure and hardware.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The index spans SaaS, PaaS and IaaS plus managed storage, data-center REITs and cloud or edge infrastructure and hardware, so you hold the cloud's landlords alongside its tenants.assets.globalxetfs.com
  2. 02Global mandate, not US-only, so cloud names listed outside the States can make the cut.globalxetfs.com
  3. 03Live since 2019 and built around roughly 40 stocks: a multi-year record rather than a backtest, in a basket tight enough that each name matters.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.68% a year, this is the expensive lane to the theme. The cloud group's median is 0.49%, and CLOD (0.35%) and FCLD (0.39%) sit well underneath.
  2. 02The REIT and hardware sleeves trade on different drivers than software, so CLOU can drift from pure-software cloud funds in either direction.
  3. 03On our review it sits in the back of the cloud pack, mostly on cost, with FCLD, WCLD and SKYY rating higher.
