Our read on PRNT

ETF.net Research

In short

DA 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

  • Whole-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
  • Rules 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
  • Launched in 2016, a long run for a theme this narrow. Plenty of thematic funds never see a full market cycle.

Worth knowing

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