Our read on MOTO

ETF.net Research

In short

CA stock-picker's run at the EV and self-driving theme: about 40 names, roughly equal weight, picked by Guinness Atkinson's managers. Fee is 0.68%, net of a waiver through June 30, 2029.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in publicly traded equity securities of domestic or foreign companies developing or producing smart-transportation products and systems, including autonomous or electric vehicles and smart transportation networks. It is actively managed and normally invests at least 80% of net assets in these companies.

Why people hold it

  • Roughly equal weights, so the smallest holding counts about as much as the largest and one mega-cap does not become the whole theme.sec.gov
  • Actively managed: at least 80% of net assets go to smart-transportation companies, with managers judging how central each one is to the ecosystem.sec.gov
  • 0.68% net of a waiver running through June 30, 2029, near the category median and level with DRIV's fee.
  • Global by design, holding both US and foreign companies across autonomous and electric vehicles, networks and the parts that feed them.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded with a small asset base, so spreads can widen and limit orders earn their keep.
  • The 0.68% rests on a contractual waiver; gross expenses run 1.21%, and the waiver is dated to June 30, 2029.
  • About 40 stocks in one theme, with no index to fall back on: results track the managers' picks, and foreign holdings add currency swings.
