Our read on SKYY

ETF.net Research

In short

BThe veteran cloud play. SKYY has tracked the ISE CTA Cloud Computing Index since 2011, bundling roughly 60 companies that rent out computing power instead of selling boxes.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks results generally corresponding, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield of the ISE CTA Cloud ComputingTM Index. The index is designed to track companies involved in the cloud computing industry.

Why people hold it

  • Trading since 2011, so its live record spans full market cycles instead of one hot stretch for the theme.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands regularly, which generally means ordinary-size orders find a market without drama.
  • Rules-based index, roughly 60 names: wide enough to spread the bet across cloud providers and users, tight enough to still feel like a theme.
  • Sits in the upper half of its cloud-software peer group on our review.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.60% a year it runs above the cloud cohort's median fee, and above FCLD (0.39%) and WCLD (0.45%).
  • Not an income vehicle: distributions have not been part of the recent picture, so the whole story is price.
  • One theme, roughly 60 mostly-tech stocks. It swings harder than a broad market fund, in both directions.
