Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FITEAState Street SPDR S&P Kensho Future Security ETF

THMZBLazard Equity Megatrends 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.

THMZ Most thematic ETFs make you pick one trend and live with it. Lazard's megatrends fund is actively run across several themes at once, holding about 60 established companies worldwide and measuring itself against the global stock market.

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.

THMZ THMZ is the ticker shown for Lazard Equity Megatrends ETF on NASDAQ.

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
  • THMZ Multi-theme by design: rather than one trend in a wrapper, the managers spread roughly 60 global holdings across several megatrends and let the theme mix evolve, with the MSCI All Country World Index as the yardstick.lazardassetmanagement.comlazardassetmanagement.com 2
  • 0.50% net of a fee waiver (0.60% gross) sits below the median for global thematic funds, and level with AGNG, the aging-population ETF, at 0.50%.
  • The mandate leans on established companies generally above $5 billion in market cap, emerging markets included. Blue-chip megatrends, not micro-cap moonshots.lazardassetmanagement.com
  • Portfolio construction stands in the upper half of its global thematic peer group, and the fund pays distributions quarterly.

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.
  • THMZ No published index sits behind it. Which megatrends make the cut, and which names express them, is the manager's call, so there is nothing external to grade the stock picking against.lazardassetmanagement.com
  • Trading is thin next to the giant index names, so the bid-ask gap can be wider and large orders need more care.
  • It launched in 2025, so the record is short, and index-tracking rivals cost less: WRND charges 0.18% net of a fee waiver.
