Our read on GGRW
DA rare bird in innovation land: Gabelli's value instincts aimed at the digital economy, wrapped in a non-transparent ETF that keeps its stock picks off the daily tape. Real choices, where most peers in the theme just track an index.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks relevant to innovation, defined as new technologies, products, or services that change how businesses operate. It targets companies whose earnings-growth prospects are undervalued.
Why people hold it
- Actual stock picking, not index following: the mandate targets innovation companies whose earnings-growth prospects the manager judges undervalued. A value shop's take on growth.gabelli.com
- Built on the ActiveShares model: no daily holdings file, just a verified intraday value (VIIV) published every second, which keeps other traders from shadowing the manager's moves.gabelli.com
- Does what the label says. The portfolio has stayed tight to its stated innovation mandate, with a risk profile on the calmer end of a famously jumpy category.
Worth knowing
- The active, hidden-book approach carries an active price tag: 0.90% a year, above the typical innovation fund, while index-based peers like KOMP (0.20%) charge a sliver of that.
- The prospectus names the trade-off of secrecy: shares may trade at wider bid/ask spreads than ETFs that publish holdings daily, especially in volatile markets.gabelli.com
- A small, thinly traded fund, so the cost of getting in and out runs higher than in the category's household names.
