Our read on DRIV
BMost EV funds pick a lane: batteries or carmakers. DRIV buys the whole road, self-driving technology, electric vehicles, and the parts and materials underneath, in roughly 80 stocks from around the world.
The fund invests in companies developing autonomous-vehicle technology, electric vehicles, and related EV components and materials.
Why people hold it
- Three layers of one theme in a single ticker: autonomous-driving technology, EV makers, and the components and materials feeding both.
- Roughly 80 names spread across the chain, so no single carmaker steers the whole portfolio. One of the better-built baskets in its peer group.
- Global by mandate, not US-only, so the index can reach automakers and suppliers listed outside the States.
- Trading since 2018, with a rules-based Solactive index behind it rather than a manager's stock picks.
Worth knowing
- The 0.68% fee sits right at the category median, but cheaper wrappers on nearby themes exist: FDRV charges 0.39% and IDRV 0.48%.
- One industry, one capital cycle. A concentrated theme fund moves harder in both directions than a broad market index.
- Not an income holding: distributions come once or twice a year, and trading volume is moderate rather than mega-liquid.
