Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

KOMPAState Street SPDR S&P Kensho New Economies Composite ETF

XTAiShares Future Exponential Technologies ETF

In short

KOMP Most thematic funds bet on one idea. KOMP buys the whole Fourth Industrial Revolution: 20-plus Kensho subsectors, from robotics to genetic engineering, spread across roughly 500 global stocks for 0.20% a year.

XT Innovation, spread thin on purpose. XT holds roughly 200 global companies scored by Morningstar analysts for exposure to a handful of exponential tech themes, so no single moonshot carries the fund.

Stated mandate

KOMP The Fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the total return performance of the S&P Kensho New Economies Composite Index.

XT XT seeks to track an index of stocks from developed and emerging markets whose companies create or use exponential technologies. The strategy targets technologies with potential economic benefits, including the ability to displace older technologies or create new markets.

Why people hold it

  • KOMP 0.20% a year, under a third of the typical disruptive-innovation fund's fee and below peers like XT (0.46%) and TRFM (0.49%).
  • Kensho's language-processing engine scans regulatory filings for context and keywords, so membership rests on what a company discloses it does, not an old sector label.ssga.comspglobal.com
  • About 500 global names across 20-plus subsectors, equal weighted within each group with extra weight to 'core' operators. One mega-cap can't run the show.spglobal.com
  • Trading since 2018 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it sits among the strongest implementations in the disruptive-innovation group.
  • XT Cheap for the theme at 0.46% a year, below the typical fee in its disruptive-innovation cohort and under peers like TRFM and FDTX.
  • Human fingerprint on the stock list: Morningstar equity analysts score companies on theme exposure instead of sorting by keywords or revenue tags.sec.govcontentstack.io
  • Global by construction (developed and emerging markets) and not fenced into the tech sector, so a drugmaker or an industrial can qualify on theme exposure.sec.gov
  • Launched in 2015 and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund, it stands among the stronger builds in its innovation peer group.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • KOMP Equal weighting reaches down into smaller, earlier-stage innovators, so swings run wider than a plain broad-market index fund.spglobal.com
  • Subsector weights follow a risk-adjusted-return formula with annual reconstitution, so the mix drifts toward industries that have recently performed well.ssga.comspglobal.com
  • Breadth cuts both ways: a pure play on one theme like AI or space gets diluted here across the entire innovation map.spglobal.com
  • XT The index has been reworked since launch (weighting scheme, theme list), and themes get an annual review, so today's tilt is not fixed forever.morningstar.comsec.gov
  • Moderately traded rather than a household name, which can mean wider spreads than the biggest tech ETFs.
  • About 200 positions dilutes any single breakout winner, and distributions land only once or twice a year.
