Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IPAYCAmplify Digital Payments ETF

KYCCCorgi Digital Banking & Fintech Infrastructure ETF

In short

IPAY The payments purist. IPAY tracks a global index of card networks, processors and wallet apps, roughly 40 names deep, while most fintech funds spread into lending, crypto and banking software.

KYC No data

Stated mandate

IPAY IPAY seeks returns that generally track the Nasdaq CTA Global Digital Payments Index before fees and expenses. It follows a passive/indexing approach rather than trying to outperform the index or moving temporarily defensive.

KYC No data

Why people hold it

  • IPAY Narrow by design: it follows the Nasdaq CTA Global Digital Payments Index, so the money goes to the plumbing of card swipes and app taps rather than fintech broadly.
  • Global mandate, not a US-only basket. Payments is an inherently cross-border business and the index is built that way.
  • Launched in 2015, making it one of the longer-running thematic payments funds, with a rules-based index approach instead of a manager's stock picks.

KYC No data

Worth knowing

  • IPAY At 0.75% a year it sits at the top of the fintech shelf. FDFF charges 0.50% and BPAY 0.66%, though both cast a wider net than payments alone.
  • About 40 stocks in a single theme. When payment volumes or fintech sentiment turn, there is nothing else in the portfolio to cushion it.
  • Distributions come annually or semiannually, and it trades at moderate volume rather than penny-spread scale, so limit orders are the sane default.
