Investment Thesis

FDN is the internet-economy index that predates the smartphone: two decades of owning whatever the web's dominant businesses happened to be, from the Google IPO era to today's platform giants. The concentrated 44-name basket is purer than any broad tech fund — no Apple hardware, no chip fabs — which cuts both ways: it led the 2010s and has lagged in the AI-hardware era, making the flat trailing year a bet on software and platforms reclaiming leadership.

Who It's For

Thematic investors who want the consumer-internet and platform economy specifically, not semiconductors wearing a tech label. A two-decade track record for what remains a focused sector bet.
