ETFs to Tap on Soaring E-Commerce Sales Amid Coronavirus

by SWETA KILLA – Zacks on APRIL 27, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has ramped up the digital shift, which is likely to last longer than expected even after the economy reopens. E-commerce companies have been the most sought after on Wall Street as lockdowns have resulted in the forced closure of malls and retail stores.

E-commerce sales climbed at the highest pace since late February, jumping 25% during the week ending Apr 20, according to Signifyd’s E-commerce Pulse data. The jump surpassed the previous record of 17% for the week ending Apr 6. Overall, there is an increase of 85% in ecommerce spending since late February. According to the market research firm Rakuten Intelligence, e-commerce spending in the United States is up more than 30% from the beginning of March through mid-April compared with the same period last year (read: Hot ETFs to Tap Consumers’ Digital Shift Amid Coronavirus).

Although online grocery sales were the least investor favorite, it has emerged as the hottest category during the epidemic. According to Nielsen and Rakuten Intelligence, U.S. online sales of consumer-packaged goods (CPG) — the kind of items typically sold in grocery stores — grew 56% for the week ending Apr 18. Food topped the list, with sales soaring 69.5% year over year, followed by a 57.5% surge in online sales of household care items and growth in the health and beauty care (47.7%), baby care (27.2%) and pet care (22.3%) categories.

Per Namogoo, online supermarket visits were up 162% from the year-ago levels in March and up 146% from February 2020.

Bloomberg stated that Amazon AMZN is the top-most, high-profile winner of the current environment. Shares of AMZN jumped more than 40% from a low hit last month and has nearly overtaken Apple AAPL in market capitalization. Goldman believes that the pandemic would “steepen the curve of Amazon’s long-term growth rate, drive incremental profitability, and further deepen the competitive moat around all of its businesses.”

Other e-commerce stocks saw bigger share-price rallies. Shopify SHOP is up more than 85% from a low hit earlier this month, becoming one of the most valuable companies in Canada, while Wayfair W has more than quintupled off a March low, having surged more than 400% over the period. Shares of eBay EBAY are also up nearly 50% from a low hit last month.

Before you invest in O’Shares ETF Investments Funds, please refer to the prospectus for important information about the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, please view or download a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. There are risks involved with investing including the possible loss of principal.

Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject the Funds to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector. The Funds may use derivatives which may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. A Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after the Fund's purchase of such a company's securities. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic, economic, foreign market and trading risks. In addition, a Fund's investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund's returns. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Funds.

The securities of small capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.

Companies involved with Internet technology and e-commerce are exposed to risks associated with rapid advances in technology, obsolescence of current products and services, the finite life of patents and the constant threat of global competition and substitutes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), are not individually redeemable, and owners of Shares may acquire those Shares from the Funds and tender those shares for redemption to the Funds in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 50,000 Shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price of Shares can be at, below, or above NAV. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded Shares at other times.

O’Shares ETF Investments Funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is not affiliated with O’Shares ETF Investments or any of its affiliates.
