Our read on GTOP

ETF.net Research

In short

CA 1999-vintage tech stock picker wrapped in an ETF: at least 80% in technology names, free to roam from US mega caps to emerging markets, and measured against the Nasdaq Composite.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. It invests at least 80% of its net assets in technology-company equity investments and generally targets companies expected to benefit from the proliferation of technology.

Why people hold it

  • Genuinely active. Managers hunt companies set to benefit from the spread of technology across US, international and emerging markets instead of tracking a fixed list.
  • The 0.65% fee sits right at the median for active US equity ETFs. You pay the going rate for stock picking, not a premium for it.
  • The strategy dates to 1999, so its record runs through the dot-com bust and every tech cycle since. Few tech mandates have that much road behind them.
  • Scored against the Nasdaq Composite Total Return Index, a demanding yardstick that makes the manager's contribution easy to judge.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded. Spreads can widen, so order type and timing matter more here than with the market's busiest funds.
  • One sector, concentrated book. A technology-only portfolio moves harder than a broad market fund, in both directions.
  • Broad active core rivals cost far less (DFAU 0.12%, AVLC 0.15%). The extra fee here buys concentrated tech research, not diversification.
