Our read on KROP

ETF.net Research

In short

CHow the world feeds itself, in about 30 stocks. KROP tracks a Solactive index of global companies advancing agricultural technology and food innovation, at a 0.50% fee that sits under the typical global thematic ETF.

Stated mandate

KROP seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Solactive AgTech & Food Innovation Index. It invests at least 80% of assets in index securities or related depositary receipts and targets companies advancing agricultural technology and food innovation.

Why people hold it

  • At least 80% of assets sit in index names, so you get the agtech and food innovation basket rather than a broad fund wearing a theme label.
  • The 0.50% expense ratio undercuts the median fee in its global thematic peer group.
  • The mandate is global, so the basket can reach farm tech and food science names listed outside the US.
  • Trading since July 2021, which gives it a multi-year operating history rather than a fresh launch.

Worth knowing

  • About 30 holdings means individual names carry real weight, so one company's stumble moves the fund more than it would in a broad index.
  • Small asset base and light trading volume, which typically shows up as wider bid-ask spreads and more attention needed on order entry.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly, so cash flow from the fund is lumpy by design.
