Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FITEAState Street SPDR S&P Kensho Future Security ETF

GOLSDGabelli Opportunities in Live and Sports ETF

In short

FITE Most "security" funds mean cybersecurity. FITE reads the word wider: cyber plus border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and AR/VR, bundled into one global index basket since 2017.

GOLS Concerts, stadiums, ticket stubs: GOLS packages the live and sports economy into one ticker. Gabelli launched it in 2026 as a narrow theme inside the communication services aisle, with a single stated goal of capital appreciation.

Stated mandate

FITE The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Future Security Index, targeting companies whose products and services support future security through areas such as cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables, and virtual or augmented reality.

GOLS The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • FITE One theme, many fronts: cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and virtual/augmented reality all sit inside the same index.ssga.com
  • A 0.45% fee undercuts the typical global thematic fund, and it comes from State Street's SPDR lineup rather than a one-fund boutique.
  • Live since 2017, so it has traded through a full cycle of thematic hype and hangover instead of arriving on a back-test.
  • Roughly 80 names spread across sectors and countries, so no single defense contractor or chipmaker steers the whole portfolio.ssga.com
  • GOLS One ticker for the live economy: sports and live entertainment and the businesses around them, rather than the whole communication services sector.
  • Simple mandate. Capital appreciation from equities, with preferred shares as well as common stock available in the toolkit.
  • A specialist among peers built as broad sector index trackers (XLC, FCOM, VOX), so it covers ground those funds spread thin.

Worth knowing

  • FITE Thinly traded next to broad index funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you transact.
  • Small by SPDR standards. Niche thematic funds lean on sustained investor interest to hold their scale.
  • "Security" is drawn by index rules, so wearables and AR headset makers land beside the cyber and border names.
  • GOLS 0.90% a year is what the theme costs. The big communication services index funds, XLC and FCOM, charge 0.08%.
  • Launched in 2026, so there is no long record to lean on, and assets and trading volume are still building, which tends to mean wider spreads.
  • Built for capital appreciation, not income. Payouts are not part of the stated objective.
