Our read on KARS
DA 2018-vintage global take on electric vehicles that buys the whole chain, not just the badge on the hood: batteries, autonomous driving, hydrogen fuel cells, charging and shared mobility, in a tight book of about 60 names.
The fund seeks to track the Bloomberg Electric Vehicles Index, investing in companies involved in electric vehicles, their components, and related future-mobility technologies such as batteries, autonomous driving, shared mobility, hydrogen fuel cells, and electric infrastructure.
Why people hold it
- Reaches past the carmakers: the index also covers batteries, autonomous driving, shared mobility, hydrogen fuel cells and electric infrastructure.kraneshares.com
- Global by mandate rather than US-only, so the roster can hold makers and suppliers wherever they happen to be listed.kraneshares.com
- About 60 holdings keeps the theme concentrated enough to actually show up, instead of being diluted across hundreds of loosely related names.
- Rules-based: it follows the Bloomberg Electric Vehicles Index, so the lineup comes from a published methodology, not a manager's mood.kraneshares.com
Worth knowing
- The 0.69% expense ratio sits mid-pack for EV funds, and neighbors like FDRV (0.39%) and IBAT (0.47%) charge less for adjacent exposure.
- Trades lightly next to the biggest thematic ETFs, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment of execution.
- One theme, roughly 60 stocks: EV demand cycles, battery input costs and policy shifts all land in the same portfolio at the same time.
