Investment Thesis

Diversified disruption: instead of betting on one theme, XT owns a slice of every technology curve Morningstar's analysts think is compounding, which produced +25% with far less single-theme risk than the ARK-style funds. The headline 6.8% yield is an artifact of one large 2025 capital-gains distribution, not an income strategy.

Who It's For

Growth investors who want broad innovation exposure in one fund rather than guessing which theme wins the decade.
