Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

GAIQ—Guinness Atkinson Global Innovators Fund: ETF Class Shares

WLTGBWealthTrust DBS Long Term Growth ETF

In short

GAIQ No data

WLTG A growth fund with an escape hatch. Three quarters is a concentrated book of 25 to 35 large-cap names; the rest follows a trend model that can rotate into gold, Treasuries, cash or an inverse ETF when the signal turns negative.

Stated mandate

GAIQ No data

WLTG The Fund seeks long-term capital growth and has a secondary objective of providing dividend income.

Why people hold it

GAIQ No data

  • WLTG The tactical quarter is a risk dial: when the trend model reads a down market, that sleeve can move into gold, Treasuries, cash or an inverse ETF hedging the long equity exposure.sec.gov
  • Concentration with intent. The core sleeve normally holds 25 to 35 individual large-cap positions, so the manager's picks move the fund instead of being diluted into an index.sec.gov
  • 0.74% a year, with no fee waiver doing the lifting, lands near the typical fee for its category. That sits above BGGG's 0.70% and CGGO's 0.47%, both also unwaived.
  • Live since December 2021 on the same quantitative-plus-trend process it launched with, it stands in the upper half of a small global growth peer group.

Worth knowing

GAIQ No data

  • WLTG It trades lightly and is small by ETF standards, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than what you see in a big index fund.
  • There is no index to check it against. Results ride on the adviser's calls and a third-party trend signal, and trend models can whipsaw in choppy, directionless markets.sec.gov
  • Dividend income is only a secondary objective and distributions are declared on a yearly schedule, so this is not built as a steady income stream.
