Our read on SEA

ETF.net Research

In short

COne ticker for the whole freight chain: container ships, port operators, and air couriers. Fixed-tier weights keep the giant parcel names from swallowing the portfolio, with a 70/30 tilt toward sea over sky.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the U.S. Global SEA Index.

Why people hold it

  • Owns freight end to end: marine shipping, port and harbor operators, and air freight and courier names, global and including emerging markets.usglobaletfs.com
  • Weights are assigned in fixed tiers (5%, 4% and 2% slots for sea names, 3% for air) rather than by market cap, so one mega-cap courier cannot dominate the book.usglobaletfs.com
  • Reconstitutes and rebalances quarterly, so the roughly 30-stock lineup refreshes with the freight cycle instead of drifting for years.usglobaletfs.com
  • Trading since 2022 and an unusual pairing of ocean and air cargo in a single US-listed fund; it sits in the upper half of its global thematic peer group.usglobaletfs.com

Worth knowing

  • At 0.60% a year, it runs a touch above the 0.56% median for global thematic funds.
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads can be wider than in large sector ETFs.
  • The index was built by U.S. Global Indices, a subsidiary of the adviser, with Indxx as calculation agent, and about 30 cyclical freight names make for a concentrated ride.usglobaletfs.com
