ETF Description
The Renaissance International IPO ETF (ticker: IPOS) is a transparent rules-based ETF that tracks as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Renaissance International IPO Index.

Constituents are weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization with a cap imposed on any weightings exceeding 10%.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, nor does the Index lend securities, and no revenues from securities lending were added to the performance shown.
International IPO ETF Investments
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are one of the most versatile tools for modern investors, offering access to diversified portfolios, global opportunities, and cost-efficient strategies. For those looking to capitalize on newly public companies outside the U.S., the Renaissance Capital International IPO ETF provides targeted exposure to global IPOs across developed and emerging markets (within the first 3 years of going public).
Below, we explore the investing ideas enabled by ETFs like ours and address common questions about ETFs, particularly for investors seeking international diversification.
Top ETF Investing Ideas
-
Global Diversification Across Regions
- The Renaissance Capital International IPO ETF provides access to a portfolio of recently listed IPOs from markets worldwide. By investing globally, you gain exposure to innovative and fast-growing companies in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and beyond.
- Benefit: Diversify your portfolio geographically, reducing the risk tied to any single market.
-
Capitalizing on Emerging Market Growth
- Many of the most dynamic and rapidly growing companies go public in emerging markets, where innovation and economic expansion often drive significant opportunity. This ETF allows investors to tap into growth stories they might otherwise miss.
- Benefit: Capture opportunities in high-growth markets with reduced effort and research.
-
Thematic Exposure to Global Innovation
- Newly public companies often represent market disruptors and innovators across technology, healthcare, energy, and consumer industries. This ETF offers thematic exposure to cutting-edge companies from around the globe.
- Benefit: Gain access to companies at the forefront of global innovation and growth.
-
Currency and Market Diversification
- Investing internationally through an ETF helps hedge risks tied to U.S.-centric portfolios, providing both market and currency diversification. This can add resilience during domestic market downturns.
- Benefit: Broaden your portfolio with global assets to improve diversification.
-
Cost-Efficient Access to International Markets

Common Questions About ETFs and International Investing
-
What is an ETF, and why is it useful for international investing?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a basket of securities and trades on an exchange like a stock. International ETFs simplify global investing, offering exposure to foreign markets without the complexities of buying individual stocks abroad.
-
What makes an international IPO ETF unique?
An international IPO ETF, such as the Renaissance Capital International IPO ETF, focuses on companies that have recently gone public at non-US exchanges over the last 3 years. This allows investors to tap into emerging and developed market growth while maintaining diversified exposure.
-
Is international investing riskier than U.S. investing?
While international markets can carry currency, political, or economic risks, diversification across multiple regions and sectors helps diversify these risks. An ETF spreads risk across numerous companies and markets.
-
What are the benefits of currency diversification?
Investing internationally allows exposure to different currencies, which can act as a hedge against a weakening U.S. dollar or inflation, while also providing new growth opportunities in other economies.
-
How do I know which companies are in the ETF?
ETF holdings are typically published daily, providing full transparency into which companies are included in the portfolio. Investors can easily track performance and changes.
