Our read on TRUT
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.
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
- The 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
- 0.14% 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.
- One 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
- About 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
- Part 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
- Uncapped 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
- Launched August 2025, so there is only a short record of how closely the hybrid build actually shadows an uncapped tech benchmark.
