Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

GINNAGoldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF

XITKAState Street SPDR FactSet Innovative Technology ETF

In short

GINN Five Goldman thematic ETFs walked in; one walked out. GINN bundles data, finance, health, manufacturing and consumer innovation into a single equal-weighted global basket of roughly 500 stocks, all for 0.50% a year.

XITK Most innovation funds pick a theme and hope. XITK lets the data pick: FactSet ranks tech and electronic-media segments by growth, keeps the top quartile, then equal-weights roughly 100 names so no single giant runs the show.

Stated mandate

GINN The Fund seeks to track the Solactive Innovative Global Equity Index, gaining exposure to companies that may benefit from technological innovation across five themes shaping the economy.

XITK The fund seeks to track the total return of the FactSet Innovative Technology Index before fees and expenses. Its mandate targets innovative technology-related companies with robust revenue growth and leading-edge products or services.

Why people hold it

  • GINN Weight is split equally across five innovation themes: data-driven world, finance reimagined, human evolution, manufacturing revolution and new age consumer. No single fad steers the fund.solactive.com
  • Roughly 500 names reaching across sectors, geographies and market caps, so innovation shows up as a broad global basket rather than a concentrated bet on a dozen US mega caps.gsam.com
  • Born in November 2020 from the merger of five separate Goldman theme funds, so one 0.50% expense ratio covers ground that once took five tickers.nasdaq.com
  • XITK Costs 0.45% a year, comfortably under the 0.65% median for disruptive-innovation funds, and it does it inside a plain index wrapper from a major ETF shop.
  • Equal weighting at each reset gives the hundredth holding the same slot as the first, so results lean on the whole basket rather than two or three mega-caps.factset.com
  • Screens segments, not slogans: only companies drawing most of their revenue from the fastest-growing corners of tech and electronic media make the cut.factset.comssga.com
  • Trading since 2016, giving it a live record across several tech cycles, and it sits in the upper tier of our innovation-fund cohort review.

Worth knowing

  • GINN Thinly traded and modest in size next to giant index funds, so bid-ask spreads can widen. Limit orders are the usual defense.
  • A global innovation tilt has moved with bigger swings than a plain world index; these are companies valued largely on what comes next.
  • Cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly. The mandate is thematic growth exposure, not income.
  • XITK Growth-screened tech, equal-weighted, means smaller names carry a giant's weight. Expect a rougher ride than a cap-weighted tech fund.
  • Thinly traded for its category and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the household-name tech ETFs.
  • Cheaper shelfmates exist: KOMP runs a broad new-economy basket for 0.20%.
