Our read on GK

ETF.net Research

DA working wealth-management firm's conviction list, wrapped in an ETF. Active, US-only, about 30 growth stocks, benchmarked against the S&P 500. No index committee in the middle.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is actively managed and invests primarily in U.S. exchange-traded equity securities through a focused portfolio of growth stocks.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Actively managed, not index-shadowing: a focused book of US exchange-traded growth stocks chosen for long-term capital appreciation.advisorshares.com
  2. 02Roughly 30 positions, so individual picks actually register. Conviction you can see, unlike a 300-name theme basket where any one name barely moves the needle.
  3. 03The mandate is legible: US-listed equities, growth tilt, measured against the S&P 500. You know what you own and what it is judged by.advisorshares.com
  4. 04Live since 2021, so the strategy has a real-market record rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

  1. 011.31% a year is roughly double the typical disruptive-innovation fund, and index peers like KOMP (0.20%) and XT (0.46%) charge a fraction of it.
  2. 02Small asset base and thin trading. Spreads can widen, so limit orders and quiet mid-session moments matter more here than with a mega-fund.
  3. 03About 30 US growth names means no geographic ballast and real single-stock risk. Distributions arrive once or twice a year; income is not the job.
