Stay at Home Theme Could Prove Potent For This Internet ETF

by TOM LYDON on MARCH 24, 2020

With large states, such as California and New York, implementing shelter-in-place policies, some analysts and market observers believe internet retailers and related companies are poised to benefit, potentially providing an assist to ETFs such as the Global Internet Giants ETF (OGIG).

According to O’Shares, OGIG is a “rules-based ETF designed to provide investors with the means to invest in some of the largest global companies that derive most of their revenue from the Internet and e-commerce sectors that exhibit quality and growth potential.”

OGIG, which turns two years old in June, is leveraged to the “staying in” theme in both the U.S. and China as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Tencent Holdings (OTC: TCEHY) are among the fund’s top 10 holdings.

“The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and recent market volatility is likely stressful for many people,” said O’Shares in a recent note. “As people avoid unnecessary travel and public gatherings, they may turn to e-commerce and digital entertainment companies to shop and relax in the comfort of their homes.”

OGIG is a rules-based ETF designed to provide investors with the means to invest in some of the largest global companies that derive most of their revenue from the Internet and e-commerce sectors that exhibit quality and growth potential.

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), another example of a stay at home stock, is also among OGIG’s top 10 holdings.

“The world’s leading internet streaming company offering TV shows and movies in a variety of genres and languages. Over 160 million subscribers worldwide,” according to O’Shares research.

Observing OGIG

Not surprisingly, e-commerce is a major driver of long-term potential for OGIG and rival Internet ETFs. OGIG’s structure provides ample leverage to compelling domestic and international e-commerce trends.

“Online commerce and digital entertainment platform. It is estimated that over 80% of U.S. households have a Prime account,” according to O’Shares research on Amazon.

Also amongst the index’s holdings are Chinese tech companies like YY, Baidu, and JD. For long-term investors, OGIG’s exposure to ex-US e-commerce and Internet companies is relevant and important.

That international exposure is a critical difference-maker when evaluating OGIG against domestic Internet ETFs and a trait that explains OGIG’s out-performance of legacy funds in the category.

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.
