ASDDDefiance Autism Impact ETF

ICOPBiShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF

In short

ASD The first US-listed ETF built around the autism ecosystem: roughly 40 developed-market names in therapeutics, diagnostics and specialized education, equally weighted. Defiance pledges the fund's advisory profits to autism causes.

ICOP The copper-miner aisle has a price leader. ICOP tracks a global index of copper and metals miners for 0.47% a year, the lowest sticker in its peer group, with BlackRock's indexing machinery behind it.

Stated mandate

ASD The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the VettaFi Autism Impact Index.

ICOP The Fund seeks to track an index of U.S. and non-U.S. equities of companies primarily engaged in copper and metal ore mining.

Why people hold it

  • ASD Rare mandate: an equal-weighted basket spanning autism therapeutics, diagnostics and assessment tools, and specialized education tech, so no single name dominates.defianceetfs.com
  • Defiance has committed to donate 100% of its net advisory profits from the fund for its first two years, and no less than 50% after that, to autism care and research groups.defianceetfs.com
  • Conventional plumbing under an unconventional theme: a 1940 Act fund tracking a published index, reconstituted semiannually and rebalanced quarterly.defianceetfs.com
  • ICOP At 0.47% a year it is the cheapest fund in the copper-mining cohort, undercutting COPX (0.65%), COPP (0.66%), COPJ (0.75%) and KCOP (0.99%), and sitting below the group's 0.66% median.
  • A rules-based pure play: it follows the STOXX Global Copper and Metals Mining Index, holding companies primarily engaged in copper and metal ore mining. Miners' shares, not copper futures, and no stock-picking.ishares.com
  • Global by mandate, not by accident: the index reaches U.S. and non-U.S. miners, which is where much of the world's copper actually trades. Distributions are paid quarterly.ishares.com
  • One of the stronger builds in a small copper-mining field, pairing the lowest fee in the group with a mainstream iShares index wrapper.

Worth knowing

  • ASD At 0.79% a year it costs more than the typical global thematic fund; broader peers such as AGNG (0.50%) and FITE (0.45%) charge less for their baskets.
  • Launched in 2026 and still small and thinly traded, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than in the largest thematic funds.
  • Roughly 40 names, mostly healthcare, so it moves with drug, diagnostics and behavioral-care sentiment more than with the broad market.
  • ICOP Non-diversified by design: a few dozen miners levered to one metal, with the largest names carrying a big slice. Copper prices and mine-level news drive the ride.ishares.com
  • A large share of the basket is listed outside the U.S., so currency moves and foreign market risks come along with the copper exposure.ishares.com
  • It launched in 2023, so the live record is short, and trading is moderate rather than heavy. Limit orders earn their keep on bigger tickets.
