Our read on DTEC

ETF.net Research

In short

BOne ticker, about 100 global stocks spread across the disruptive-tech map instead of one hot theme. Cheaper than the typical innovation fund, and running the same rules-based playbook since 2017.

Stated mandate

DTEC seeks to track the Indxx Disruptive Technologies Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • Charges 0.50% a year against a 0.65% median for disruptive-innovation funds. Cheap for a theme fund.
  • Holds roughly 100 stocks worldwide rather than a dozen US megacaps, so no single company or country carries the whole theme.
  • Tracks the Indxx Disruptive Technologies Index, so the lineup comes from published index rules instead of a manager's conviction call.alpsfunds.com
  • Trading since 2017, one of the earlier multi-theme innovation funds, and one of the stronger implementations in its peer group.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the category's biggest names, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year. This is a growth-theme equity fund, not an income sleeve.
  • Global holdings add currency movement on top of the usual swings that come with concentrated technology themes.
