About
Owns the 25 companies with the most U.S. patent approvals (2010–2017), equal-weighted and rebalanced quarterly. A simple innovation tilt: mostly chips/electronics with some industrial, consumer, and healthcare giants.
It bets that big inventors win. It looks at U.S. patent approvals from 2010–2017, ranks companies each year, averages those ranks to smooth rule changes, and picks the top 25. Your money is split equally across them and reset every 3 months.
Expect many chip and electronics names (Apple, Microsoft, IBM, TSMC, Qualcomm), plus a few industrial, consumer, and healthcare leaders.
24.8% annualized vs 23.6% S&P, from a patent-heavy tech lineup. Equal-weight, quarterly rebalances curb mega-cap bias and deliver solid risk-adjusted performance (Calmar > 1), though drawdowns can be larger and Sharpe may lag SPY.
