Our read on DUNK
DMost disruptive-tech funds buy the story. Dana's 2025 entry is an active portfolio that leans toward innovators already posting rising profits and business momentum, with valuation risk as a stated brake. Innovation with a profitability filter.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through active investment primarily in U.S.-listed equity companies involved in, or expected to benefit from, disruptive technologies. The strategy emphasizes companies with rising profitability and business momentum while considering valuation risk.
Why people hold it
- Actively run rather than index-bound: the mandate emphasizes disruptive-technology companies with rising profitability and business momentum, not just a good pitch deck.
- Valuation risk is written into the strategy itself, an unusual guardrail in a corner of the market known for paying up for growth.
- Sticks to U.S.-listed equities, so you get the innovation theme without a currency or foreign-market layer stacked on top.
Worth knowing
- At 0.75% a year it runs above the typical disruptive-innovation ETF, and well above index-based rivals such as KOMP (0.20%) and XT (0.46%).
- Launched in September 2025, so there is little live record behind the manager's stock picks, and it trades lightly, which tends to mean wider spreads.
- Built around long-term growth of capital, not income; payouts are not part of the design.
