A “Spin-Off” is a company that the parent will spin off to shareholders. Shareholders usually sell spinoffs in a portfolio. They look at it as a gift and don’t really spend a lot of time looking at the company itself. This ETF buys companies that have been spun off in the past 30 months but not in the previous 6 months.
One of the nice things about ETFs is that it can buy you access to a particular theme or sector or asset class. In this case, you are buying access to spinoff candidates. This has been one of the stronger performing ETFs. Spinoffs tend to do well because very often management groups set up spinoffs for success.
