QTUMADefiance Quantum ETF

In short

EPAI No data

QTUM Live since 2018, QTUM turns the quantum-computing story into a plain index fund: about 90 global names spanning quantum hardware and machine learning, for 0.40% a year.

Stated mandate

EPAI No data

QTUM The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the BlueStar® Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index. It uses a passive indexing approach.

Why people hold it

EPAI No data

  • QTUM 0.40% a year against a 0.68% median for its AI-theme cohort, and it undercuts peers like WTAI (0.45%) and ALAI (0.55%).
  • Rules-based by design: it tracks the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index, so no manager is hand-picking which quantum story wins.
  • About 90 holdings across global markets, so the theme rides on a basket instead of two or three pure plays.
  • Size and liquidity back it up: a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and one of the stronger implementations in its thematic peer group.

Worth knowing

EPAI No data

  • QTUM Risk is the softest part of the profile. One narrow, early-stage theme in a single asset class means sharper swings than a broad-market fund.
  • The index covers machine learning as well as quantum, so part of the basket is familiar AI exposure rather than quantum specialists.
  • Distributions come quarterly, but a growth theme like this is not built around income.
