GOLSDGabelli Opportunities in Live and Sports ETF

WRNDBNYLI Global Equity R&D Leaders ETF

In short

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.

WRND Most innovation funds sell you a story. WRND buys receipts: roughly 200 companies worldwide picked on what they actually spend on R&D and whether that spending earns a return, at a fee well under the thematic norm.

Stated mandate

GOLS The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

WRND The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the IQ Global Equity R&D Leaders Index. Its passive strategy targets innovative companies worldwide based on high research and development spending.

Why people hold it

  • 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.
  • WRND 0.18% a year against a 0.56% median for its global thematic peers. Innovation exposure without the boutique markup.newyorklifeinvestments.com
  • Selection leans on the income statement: R&D intensity paired with return on invested capital, favoring firms that turn research budgets into results.newyorklifeinvestments.com
  • Roughly 200 names from a global universe, one of three R&D-screened funds New York Life launched in 2022 rather than a one-off experiment.businesswire.com

Worth knowing

  • 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.
  • WRND Small and lightly traded, so bid/ask spreads tend to run wider than on mainstream global index funds.
  • Weighting by R&D dollars, with a cap on any single position, tilts the book toward the world's largest research spenders.businesswire.cometfstrategy.com
  • Distributions arrive quarterly, but income isn't the mandate; the index screens on research spending, not payouts.
