DTECBALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF

XITKAState Street SPDR FactSet Innovative Technology ETF

In short

DTEC One ticker, about 100 global stocks spread across the disruptive-tech map instead of one hot theme. Cheaper than the typical innovation fund, and running the same rules-based playbook since 2017.

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

DTEC DTEC seeks to track the Indxx Disruptive Technologies Index before fees and expenses.

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

  • DTEC Charges 0.50% a year against a 0.65% median for disruptive-innovation funds. Cheap for a theme fund.
  • Holds roughly 100 stocks worldwide rather than a dozen US megacaps, so no single company or country carries the whole theme.
  • Tracks the Indxx Disruptive Technologies Index, so the lineup comes from published index rules instead of a manager's conviction call.alpsfunds.com
  • Trading since 2017, one of the earlier multi-theme innovation funds, and one of the stronger implementations in its peer group.
  • 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

  • DTEC Thinly traded next to the category's biggest names, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year. This is a growth-theme equity fund, not an income sleeve.
  • Global holdings add currency movement on top of the usual swings that come with concentrated technology themes.
  • 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%.
