About this ETF
NICO is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that allocates capital to firms engaged in the global tobacco and nicotine industries. A crucial criterion for these portfolio companies is that at least one percent of their tobacco and nicotine-derived income must originate from reduced-risk alternatives, such as electronic vaping products.

Latest News for NICO
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.
