ETF Summary
The Renaissance IPO ETF (ticker: IPO) seeks to provide investors with the largest, most liquid US-listed newly public company stocks in one security, reducing the risk of single-stock ownership while avoiding overlap with major core indices for optimal diversification across markets and time. Launched in 2013, it is the only ETF focusing exclusively on the US IPO market.
ETF Description
The Renaissance IPO ETF (ticker: IPO) is a transparent rules-based ETF that tracks as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Renaissance IPO Index. Each quarter the ETF is rebalanced as new IPOs are included and older constituents cycle out three years after their IPO. 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.

Common Questions About ETFs
-
What is an ETF, and how does it work?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a collection of stocks, bonds, or other securities and trades on an exchange like a stock. Investors can buy and sell shares of the ETF throughout the day at market prices, providing liquidity and flexibility.
-
How is an IPO-focused ETF different from other ETFs?
An IPO-focused ETF, like the Renaissance Capital US IPO ETF, specifically tracks companies that have gone public in the last 3 years. This offers targeted exposure to emerging businesses poised for growth, rather than broader market indexes.
-
Are ETFs better than mutual funds?
ETFs have advantages like intraday trading, lower expense ratios, and greater tax efficiency. Mutual funds, on the other hand, are priced once per day and may have higher fees.
-
Can ETFs be part of a diversified investment strategy?
Yes, ETFs are an excellent way to diversify across sectors, themes, and market trends. For instance, combining an IPO ETF with other sector ETFs helps diversify your portfolio while capturing growth opportunities.
-
Are ETFs suitable for long-term or short-term investing?
Both! ETFs provide flexibility for short-term tactical moves while also serving as strong vehicles for long-term investing.
