Our read on LRNZ
CThe stock-picker's AI fund. TrueShares launched LRNZ in 2020 and runs a couple dozen high-conviction technology and deep-learning names instead of a broad index basket. Concentrated by design, active by mandate.
The Fund is an actively managed ETF investing at least 80% of its net assets in common stock of technology, artificial intelligence, and deep learning companies. Its selection process emphasizes companies with substantial technology-related revenue, profit, or research-and-development exposure and competitive advantages in these fields.
Why people hold it
- Actively managed and deliberately concentrated at roughly two dozen holdings, so each pick carries real weight rather than being diluted across hundreds of names.
- Live since 2020, before AI became the loudest trade on the tape. That gives it a multi-year record across very different tech markets, not a post-hype launch.
- At least 80% of net assets sit in technology, AI and deep-learning companies, screened for real tech revenue, profit or R&D exposure rather than an AI mention in the deck.
- What is inside matches the label: the portfolio stays close to its stated AI and deep-learning mandate instead of drifting into generic megacap tech.
Worth knowing
- The 0.68% fee lands at the category median, while big index-based rivals such as XAIX (0.35%) and QTUM (0.40%) charge less for a wider basket.
- Concentration cuts both ways. With only a couple dozen positions, a single stumbling holding moves this fund far more than it would a broad AI index.
- One of the smaller and more thinly traded funds in the AI group, so spreads and order execution matter more here than with the category heavyweights.
