Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DARPDTidal Trust II Grizzle Growth ETF

XITKAState Street SPDR FactSet Innovative Technology ETF

In short

DARP The ticker is the thesis: disruption at a reasonable price. Two founder-managers run a concentrated global book of 30 to 60 innovation names screened on valuation, in a corner of the market where most rivals simply track a theme index.

XITK Most innovation funds pick a theme and hope. XITK lets the data pick: FactSet ranks tech and electronic-media segments by growth, keeps the top quartile, then equal-weights roughly 100 names so no single giant runs the show.

Stated mandate

DARP The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of equity securities focused on growth, innovation, and disruption.

XITK The fund seeks to track the total return of the FactSet Innovative Technology Index before fees and expenses. Its mandate targets innovative technology-related companies with robust revenue growth and leading-edge products or services.

Why people hold it

  • DARP Valuation discipline is baked into the name: DARP targets disruption at a reasonable price, aiming at companies whose revenue and earnings can outgrow the broad market.grizzle.com
  • Genuinely active, not an index in costume: a non-diversified portfolio of 30 to 60 global stocks of any market cap, chosen by the two founders of the sub-adviser.grizzle.com
  • Spreads its bets across four themes (cloud and digitization, future media, health and wellness, energy transition) instead of living or dying by one sector.grizzle.com
  • The managers show their work: fund letters, a factsheet and a strategy whitepaper sit on the fund's own site.grizzle.com
  • XITK Costs 0.45% a year, comfortably under the 0.65% median for disruptive-innovation funds, and it does it inside a plain index wrapper from a major ETF shop.
  • Equal weighting at each reset gives the hundredth holding the same slot as the first, so results lean on the whole basket rather than two or three mega-caps.factset.com
  • Screens segments, not slogans: only companies drawing most of their revenue from the fastest-growing corners of tech and electronic media make the cut.factset.comssga.com
  • Trading since 2016, giving it a live record across several tech cycles, and it sits in the upper tier of our innovation-fund cohort review.

Worth knowing

  • DARP At 0.75% a year, it costs more than the 0.65% typical of its innovation peers, and well above index-based rivals like KOMP (0.20%) and XT (0.46%).
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the category's household names.
  • Concentrated (roughly 40 holdings) and non-diversified, so individual positions carry real weight, and cash comes back once or twice a year rather than quarterly.grizzle.com
  • XITK Growth-screened tech, equal-weighted, means smaller names carry a giant's weight. Expect a rougher ride than a cap-weighted tech fund.
  • Thinly traded for its category and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the household-name tech ETFs.
  • Cheaper shelfmates exist: KOMP runs a broad new-economy basket for 0.20%.
