Why people hold it

• CQTM 0.35% a year, comfortably below the median fee for the global thematic funds we grade.
• The 80% mandate stretches past hardware: quantum-enabled technologies and post-quantum security are in scope, so defense against quantum counts alongside the build-out.
• Actively managed and global in reach (US and international names), so the manager can rotate as the field moves instead of waiting on an index committee.
• Lands in the upper half of its global thematic peer group in our grading, with no structural red flags on the wrapper (a standard 1940 Act fund).

LYTE —No data

Worth knowing

• CQTM Launched in 2026, so the track record is short, and volatility has screened high even by single-theme standards. Our read on its risk rests on limited history.
• Small asset base and light trading volume, which tends to mean wider gaps between the buy and sell price than on household-name ETFs.
• The mandate targets capital appreciation and the fund has not been paying regular distributions, so this is a price-return holding.
