Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

TINYCProShares Nanotechnology ETF

WRNDBNYLI Global Equity R&D Leaders ETF

In short

TINY Nanotechnology is a theme most fund shelves skip entirely. TINY is ProShares' answer: roughly 30 global companies working at the nanoscale, bundled through one Solactive index into a single ticker.

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

TINY TINY invests in companies whose business operations are in nanotechnology, providing exposure to the emerging nanotechnology theme through a global portfolio.

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

  • TINY Pure-play access to a theme most shelves skip. It tracks the Solactive Nanotechnology Index, built from companies whose business operations sit in nanotechnology.proshares.com
  • About 30 global holdings, so the theme actually drives the fund instead of sitting as a rounding error inside a broad tech portfolio.
  • 0.58% a year puts it in line with the typical global thematic ETF, even though the mandate is far narrower than most.
  • ProShares has run it since 2021, it pays quarterly, and it stands in the upper half of its global thematic peer group.
  • 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

  • TINY Small and thinly traded, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads and more price impact than a mainstream index fund.
  • About 30 stocks in one emerging theme is a concentrated ride, and it can swing harder than a diversified technology fund.
  • Broader thematic funds charge less (KLMT at 0.10%, IQSZ at 0.19%), though neither aims at nanotechnology.
  • 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.
