CASH IS KING

CASH IS KING

Profitable R&D companies are generally more resilient in times of duress given their self-sufficiency to fund ongoing operations.

COST OF CAPITAL

COST OF CAPITAL

As the cost of capital rises with tighter monetary policy, company cash reserves have rapidly depleted relative to debt since 2021; profitable R&D companies are generally better positioned to service existing debts and less reliant on external financing, which has become more expensive.

Performance

Performance History

Premium Discount Chart

Performance is shown on a total return basis (i.e., with gross income reinvested, where applicable). Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized return is the average return gained or lost by an investment each year over a given time period.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. High short- term performance, when observed, is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (NBBO) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees, expenses, or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The investable universe of companies in which USRD may invest may be limited. Research and development companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. Research and development companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. They typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, capital expenditures and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced will be successful. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility. USRD is non-diversified.
