Our read on ODDS
CMost gaming ETFs stop at the console. ODDS also brings the house: a rules-based, global basket of roughly 50 companies earning their money from online gambling, video game development and esports.
The fund is a rules-based ETF seeking exposure to globally listed companies and depositary receipts whose revenues are primarily generated by online gambling, video game development, or eSports.
Why people hold it
- The betting side is the differentiator. ESPO, HERO and NERD center on video games; ODDS puts online gambling operators in the same global basket.
- At 0.49%, it undercuts the 0.55% median fee in its gaming and esports peer group, and sits well below Invesco's GGME at 0.71%.
- Rules-based, not a stock picker's hunch. The BlueStar index wants revenue coming mainly from these businesses, and it looks worldwide, depositary receipts included.
Worth knowing
- One of the smaller, thinner-traded funds in this cohort, so bid-ask spreads show up in the cost of getting in and out.
- Roughly 50 stocks in a single theme. It moves with digital entertainment, not the broad market.
- Distributions come quarterly, but this is an equity theme basket rather than an income vehicle.
