Is This ETF Every Nerds Dream?

GAMR is really putting itself on the map with all of its recent growth since it's IPO in March. Investor place named it the "Top 3 Technology Etf to Buy Now". It’s no surprise it is getting so much attention with a 68% increase since its IPO. This ETF grouped some of the biggest video game names in Japan such as Nintendo, Konami and GREE being it’s largest holdings.

What do you think about the future of GAMR? Is this just a one time growth explosion, or will these big name video game companies continue to expand and launch new and exciting products?

Here is a breakdown of GAMR: http://www.purefunds.com/purefunds-etfs/gamr/

And then after GREE you have Webzen, Square, NEXON, Zynga, Glu, Ubisoft, and Gumi. Including the three that you mention these companies account for ~41% of the ETF by way of assets. There are still 35 additional holdings after that. I know a few of those names. Do you know the others?

 

I'm asking if you know of the companies the ETF holds not what companies the ETF holds. Outside of the major players are you familiar with these companies. Why not just buy a few gamer oriented stocks instead?

 

I looked into about half of them, and I was actually thinking about buying some of the individual although they are in Japanese currency. Would you recommend buying the strong ones separately over the ETF? And which ones would you recommend?

I'm thinking Nintendo might do well with all of the new Nintendo switch games they are finally releasing.

 

I'm not recommending anything, not because I disagree in it, but because I'm not in the position to make recommendations. Simply trying to spark some discussion to have you dive deeper.
