Our read on VICE

ETF.net Research

DThe original sin-stock ETF. It listed in 2017 as the first fund built on alcohol, tobacco and cannabis, then dropped weed in 2020 and went all-in on booze, smokes, casinos, sports betting, esports and food and beverage, picked by a manager instead of an index.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  1. 01First mover in its niche: it launched in 2017 as the first ETF, active or passive, offering concentrated exposure to alcohol and tobacco companies.prnewswire.com
  2. 02One ticket for the whole vice aisle: alcohol and tobacco, casinos, sports betting, video games and esports, plus food and beverage names.prnewswire.com
  3. 03A human runs the book. The manager can lean toward distillers, tobacco majors or betting operators as rules and habits shift, without waiting for an index rebalance.advisorshares.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01Active management carries an active price tag: 1.71% a year against a roughly 0.65% median for consumer-theme peers, with index-based rivals like PEJ and MILN well under that.
  2. 02A small, thinly traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category's bigger names. Limit orders matter more here.
  3. 03No cannabis inside. AdvisorShares moved that exposure to separate funds when it changed this strategy and ticker in 2020.prnewswire.comadvisorshares.com
