Our read on PRNT

ETF.net Research

CA pure bet on 3D printing: roughly 60 printer makers, software firms and materials suppliers across the US, Taiwan and developed markets, followed by index rather than picked by a manager. Trading since 2016.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to closely match, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Total 3D-Printing Index. It uses an indexing approach and generally replicates the Index by holding its securities in approximately the same proportions.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Whole-portfolio exposure to one theme. No mega-cap ballast diluting the story, just roughly 60 names tied to the 3D printing chain across the US, Taiwan and developed markets.ark-funds.com
  2. 02Rules first, hunches never. It tracks the Total 3D-Printing Index, so holdings come from published methodology instead of a manager's conviction.ark-funds.com
  3. 03Launched in 2016, a long run for a theme this narrow. Plenty of thematic funds never see a full market cycle.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.66% a year, it costs more than the typical global thematic fund. Narrow niches rarely come cheap.
  2. 02Modest asset base and light trading. Spreads can widen, so limit orders matter more here than in a mega-cap index fund.
  3. 03One theme, roughly 60 stocks, many of them small industrials. Swings run bigger than a broad equity fund's, in both directions.
