Our read on each fund

HACKCAmplify Cybersecurity ETF

XABCorgi AI Cybersecurity ETF

In short

HACK Cybersecurity by the rulebook: HACK has tracked the Indxx Cybersecurity Index since 2014 and has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund in a now-crowded corner of thematic investing.

XA No data

Stated mandate

HACK The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx Cybersecurity Index.

XA No data

Why people hold it

  • HACK Live since November 2014, giving it a decade-plus of real-world history across several tech booms and drawdowns.
  • Follows the published rules of the Indxx Cybersecurity Index rather than a manager's hunches, so you can see what drives the holdings.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund with steady day-to-day trading, which generally keeps spreads modest for ordinary-sized orders.
  • Sits in the upper half of the cybersecurity ETF group, helped by calmer risk behavior and more staying power than the typical thematic one-off.

XA No data

Worth knowing

  • HACK At 0.60% a year it prices above the 0.50% cybersecurity median, and BUG tracks the same declared index for 0.50%.
  • One theme, one industry. When security and software spending falls out of favor, the portfolio has nowhere to hide.
  • Not an income vehicle: distributions arrive only once or twice a year.
