Our read on TRUT

ETF.net Research

ADiversification rules force most tech ETFs to trim their biggest names. TRUT's answer: own the giants directly up to the legal line, then top up with sector ETFs so the portfolio mirrors the sector's real shape.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through active investment in securities of information technology-related companies or instruments providing exposure to them.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The mechanism is the point. Fund rules cap one stock at 25% and stocks above 5% at 50% combined; TRUT fills the gap with targeted sector ETFs instead of overweighting smaller names.vaneck.comvaneck.com
  2. 020.14% a year for an actively managed fund, against a median near 0.65% across active US equity peers. Cheap enough to sit alongside index products.
  3. 03One of the two originals in VanEck's TruSector line, launched in 2025. The approach has since been extended across all 11 GICS sectors.vaneck.comvaneck.com
  4. 04About 80 positions, quarterly distributions, and steady day-to-day trading. On cost and tradability it lands in the upper tier of its active US equity cohort.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Part of the exposure arrives through other ETFs rather than shares the fund holds outright. That is the workaround that makes uncapped weights possible, and it adds a layer.vaneck.com
  2. 02Uncapped means concentrated. Leaning fully into tech's largest companies ties results to a handful of mega-caps more tightly than a capped sector fund would.vaneck.com
  3. 03Launched August 2025, so there is only a short record of how closely the hybrid build actually shadows an uncapped tech benchmark.
