Our read on HACK

ETF.net Research

In short

CCybersecurity by the rulebook: HACK has tracked the Indxx Cybersecurity Index since 2014 and has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund in a now-crowded corner of thematic investing.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx Cybersecurity Index.

Why people hold it

  • Live since November 2014, giving it a decade-plus of real-world history across several tech booms and drawdowns.
  • Follows the published rules of the Indxx Cybersecurity Index rather than a manager's hunches, so you can see what drives the holdings.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund with steady day-to-day trading, which generally keeps spreads modest for ordinary-sized orders.
  • Sits in the upper half of the cybersecurity ETF group, helped by calmer risk behavior and more staying power than the typical thematic one-off.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.60% a year it prices above the 0.50% cybersecurity median, and BUG tracks the same declared index for 0.50%.
  • One theme, one industry. When security and software spending falls out of favor, the portfolio has nowhere to hide.
  • Not an income vehicle: distributions arrive only once or twice a year.
