About this ETF
HERO provides access to companies whose principal business have or are expected have significant exposure to the field of video games and esports. An algorithm screens company filings for keywords that match the index theme to identify and rank companies. Eligible securities meeting minimum market-cap and liquidity requirements must also generate at least 50% of its revenues from video games or esports activities to be selected for index inclusion. Securities are those in the emerging and developed countries. The fund also invests in ADRs and GDRs based on such securities, and is not limited to any sector or geography constraints. The index is market-cap weighted with caps placed on individual positions to limit concentration in large-cap companies. The index is reconstituted and reweighted semi-annually.

Latest News for HERO
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
