In short

PAWZ One ticker for the pet economy: vet clinics, kibble makers, animal-health labs, the retailers that ship it all. PAWZ has tracked the FactSet Pet Care Index, globally, since 2018.

TSIC TSIC puts a media brand on a plain index fund: it tracks the Truth Social - Yorkville American Icons Index, a rules-based basket of US consumer-lifestyle stocks. The theme is the hook; the machinery underneath is standard indexing.

Stated mandate

PAWZ The fund invests globally in companies positioned at the forefront of the pet care industry.

TSIC The Fund seeks to provide investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Truth Social TM – Yorkville American Icons Index.

Why people hold it

• PAWZ Costs 0.50% a year, under the 0.65% median for its consumer-lifestyle peer group. Cheap for a niche theme fund, where 0.60%-plus is the norm.
• Buys the whole pet supply chain, not one slice: the mandate is global companies at the forefront of pet care, set by the FactSet Pet Care Index rather than a manager's hunches.proshares.com
• Running since 2018 and priced level with the strongest names in its cohort (MILN at 0.50%), it sits in the upper half of that peer group on our review.

• TSIC Rules first, not stock picking. Holdings come from the published inclusion criteria of a named index, so the basket is set by a methodology rather than a manager's conviction.
• 0.65% a year sits right at the median for its consumer-theme cohort. Not the discount rack, not the top shelf.
• Clean mandate: US stocks only, in a standard 1940 Act fund. No currency sleeve, no bonds, no derivatives wrapper to decode.
• Its benchmark is its own. No other fund in the consumer-lifestyle cohort tracks the same index, so the lineup is not a clone of the incumbents.

Worth knowing

• PAWZ Thinly traded. On a given trade the bid-ask spread can cost more than a year of the expense ratio, so how you place the order matters.
• Around two dozen holdings. Concentration is the point of a theme fund and also the risk: one company's news can swing the whole basket.
• A small fund with a global mandate, so expect foreign listings, currency movement, and an asset base that keeps it off most institutional buy lists.

• TSIC Launched at the very end of 2025, so there is thin live history to judge how closely it hugs its index or how it acts in a rough tape.
• A small fund that trades lightly, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads and more price drift versus the value of what it holds.
• Payouts arrive on no fixed schedule, and cheaper shelf-mates exist in the same theme: MILN and PAWZ each charge 0.50%.
