GGMECInvesco Next Gen Media and Gaming ETF

NERDCRoundhill Video Games ETF

In short

GGME The wide-angle lens in the gaming aisle: GGME's index chases "future media" broadly, so streaming and platform names sit beside game makers across roughly 100 global stocks. Fee is 0.63% net of a waiver through August 31, 2028.

NERD Roundhill's 2019 gaming pure play: about 40 companies that make, publish and distribute video games across console, PC, mobile and cloud, plus esports. Priced under the typical fund on the gaming shelf, though it stays small and lightly traded.

Stated mandate

GGME The fund tracks the STOXX World AC NexGen Media Index and normally invests at least 90% of assets in common stocks comprising that index. The index focuses on companies exposed to technologies or products contributing to future media.

NERD The fund focuses on companies in the video games industry, including publishers, developers, distributors of interactive gaming software for console, PC, mobile, and cloud platforms, related online gaming services, and esports.

Why people hold it

  • GGME Tracks the STOXX World AC NexGen Media Index with at least 90% of assets in index stocks, a mandate built around future media rather than game publishers alone.
  • Spreads the theme across roughly 100 global stocks, any market cap, so the thesis does not hinge on one studio's release calendar.stoxx.com
  • Fund and index rebalance quarterly, on the second Friday of March, June, September and December, so the basket keeps pace as media shifts.bloomberg.com
  • Listed in 2005 and later retooled (new ticker included) into its current next gen media and gaming mandate, giving it more live market history than most thematic shelves.bloomberg.com
  • NERD Charges 0.50%, below the 0.55% median for gaming and esports funds, level with HERO and under ESPO's 0.55%.
  • A real pure play: publishers, developers and distributors spanning console, PC, mobile and cloud, plus esports and online gaming services, drawn globally rather than US only.
  • Launched in 2019, an early entrant on the gaming shelf, from an issuer whose whole shop is built on thematic funds.
  • Roughly 40 holdings, so a breakout franchise carries real weight instead of getting diluted across hundreds of names.

Worth knowing

  • GGME At 0.63% net of a waiver through August 31, 2028, it sits above the category median and above unwaived peers ESPO (0.55%) and HERO (0.50%).
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads can widen and large orders may need patience.
  • The broad definition cuts both ways: mega-cap media and platform names are eligible, so it overlaps other tech holdings more than a pure gaming basket would.stoxx.com
  • NERD Small fund, thin volume. Spreads can widen, so limit orders and a look at the day's activity matter more here than with a mega-cap index fund.
  • The prospectus names a broad global all-cap index as its reference, so performance isn't framed against a gaming-only benchmark.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Distributions come once or twice a year at most. This is a growth theme, not an income line.
