Our read on HAIL
BA 2017-vintage bet on how the world moves: self-driving and connected cars, drones, and the software that routes them. Kensho's machine-read index picks the names, at a fee below the typical global thematic fund.
The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Smart Transportation Index, which targets companies advancing smart transportation through autonomous and connected vehicles, drones, and advanced transportation tracking and optimization systems.
Why people hold it
- 0.45% a year, below the median fee for global thematic funds. Cheap is rare in a niche this narrow.
- About 90 names across autonomous and connected vehicles, drones, and transport tracking systems, so no single stock has to carry the whole theme.ssga.com
- A defined slice, not a catch-all innovation basket: the index screens for companies actually advancing smart transportation, globally rather than US-only.ssga.com
- Sits in the upper half of its global thematic peer group, with a State Street 1940 Act wrapper and quarterly distributions behind it.
Worth knowing
- Small asset base and thin trading. Spreads can run wider than in the big thematic funds, and that gap is a real cost on the way in and out.
- One theme, all equity, roughly 90 stocks. It has been among the more volatile funds in its cohort and moves with sentiment on mobility tech.
- Cheap for its niche, not cheap outright. Broad global peers like KLMT (0.10%) and PBPH (0.13%) charge a fraction of it for wider mandates.
