Our take

Structural notes on how this fund behaves. Read our guide on the 6 warning signs.

Thematic
Warning

Thematic ETF — launched after the rally

Thematic funds are typically launched after a theme has delivered its strong returns. Morningstar's 2024 Global Thematic Funds Landscape finds that only about 1 in 10 thematic funds have survived and beaten a broad global equity benchmark over the past 15 years — roughly 60% have been closed outright. The narrative is always compelling; the track record rarely is.

Source: Morningstar, 'Global Thematic Funds Landscape' (2024)

Why we flagged this: Narrow thematic name, launched in the last 3 years, $26M in assets (under our $500M threshold).
