hey justin barker here today i'm going to聽
give you my top 10 alternative etfs that聽聽
[4]
you can buy or look into if you're for looking聽
for other possible investments again i'm just聽聽
[9]
going to give you a high level overview聽
to introduce you to these possibilities聽聽
[12]
along with some of my reasons for potentially聽
choosing them but be sure to do your own research聽聽
[17]
okay quick note if you haven't already hit that聽
red subscribe button it motivates me to keep聽聽
[21]
putting out good videos and 9 out of 10 of you聽
watching have not subscribed so if you did hit聽聽
[26]
that button i thank you for subscribing聽
all right so alternative etf number one聽聽
[31]
a crypto etf and these are in no particular聽
order as i've just been asking myself how聽聽
[37]
i can get some some more exposure and growth聽
outside of the typical stocks and etfs that i聽聽
[42]
normally invest in and so i started looking around聽
at uh you know some different types of investments聽聽
[47]
outside of the mainstream where i could possibly聽
invest some money to get a little more exposure聽聽
[51]
in those areas and also get some better returns聽
and so these are the 10 areas that all seem to聽聽
[57]
have some potential future growth in them and聽
so that's how i came up with this list all right聽聽
[62]
the first one is going to be a crypto etf聽
or a blockchain etf and that is going to be
[70]
the amplify transformational data sharing聽
etf or block blok now um this is an actively聽聽
[78]
managed fund and it's also uh it invests 80% at聽
least 80% of its net assets into companies that聽聽
[85]
are actively involved in the development and use聽
of blockchain technologies and its current top聽聽
[91]
holding is microstrategy but it also has many聽
other companies including paypal and square as聽聽
[96]
some of its other large holdings now uh block it聽
it's returned over 150 percent over the last year聽聽
[103]
as you can see here it's uh it's done really聽
well although it is down looks like over the聽聽
[107]
last few months but um you know this is one to聽
just keep an eye on and you can also search for聽聽
[112]
other crypto etfs as well i haven't purchased this聽
one necessarily but again just looking into it and聽聽
[117]
wanted to share it all right so now what about a聽
bitcoin etf well this one's going to be a pretty聽聽
[123]
quick going i guess you could say because the聽
u.s. has yet to approve uh any specific etf or聽聽
[130]
or for any cryptos there's just no etfs for聽
for cryptos essentially but there are some聽聽
[135]
bitcoin etfs going on in canada and europe聽
but um basically the easiest way to really get聽聽
[142]
any exposure on the american market via聽
a bitcoin etf would be probably to invest聽聽
[147]
in something like this one ark generation or聽
next-generation internet etf which is a cathie wood聽聽
[155]
etf and basically and and the reason you might聽
want to invest in this one is because its top 10聽聽
[160]
holdings are one of its top 10 holdings scroll聽
down here and look at it let's see can we see聽聽
[167]
at 4.13 percent is the grayscale bitcoin trust聽
i know that's not a lot four percent of its聽聽
[174]
total holdings but that's pretty much the only way聽
i can see right now to where you could really get聽聽
[179]
some bitcoin etf going on the american market the聽
grayscale bitcoin trust it's it basically derives聽聽
[186]
its value from bitcoin in a similar way like a聽
gold etf would but i mean other than that again聽聽
[192]
there's not there's there's just really any other聽
options out there at the moment that i could find聽聽
[196]
at least so uh next speaking of gold etfs gold聽
still very popular and a commodity and currency聽聽
[203]
and also as an inflation hedge and the simplest聽
and best way to get invested in it through an etf聽聽
[210]
i would say is probably to just purchase the next聽
one which would be the spdr gold shares gld this聽聽
[218]
etf tracks the the price of gold bullion so聽
gold bullion is basically just the physical聽聽
[222]
gold that's in the form of bars and coins in the聽
over the the counter market and each of these gld聽聽
[229]
uh shares represents one-tenth of an ounce of the聽
price of real gold or one-tenth of the price of a聽聽
[236]
one-ounce bar of gold or or a gold coin so think of聽
something like the the popular one ounce american聽聽
[242]
gold eagle coin 10 shares of gld would equal one聽
of those coins essentially and so when you own聽聽
[249]
gld what it actually represents is a fractional聽
ownership interest in the trust that runs gld and聽聽
[257]
all of their assets are gold bullion the reason聽
why you want to do this basically is an etf聽聽
[262]
over say physical goal is just because it helps聽
eliminate barriers of owning actual physical gold聽聽
[266]
which includes the cost of finding it buying聽
it storing it and all the extra costs and聽聽
[273]
associated with that transaction cost things聽
like that not to mention insuring it and other聽聽
[277]
logistics that come with actually owning physical聽
gold all right so in keeping with this commodity聽聽
[283]
theme we come to copper and copper etfs now聽
copper is one of the oldest metals in the world聽聽
[289]
and it's been used just like gold as an actual聽
currency in the past it's still one of the most聽聽
[295]
widely used metals today and it's often used in聽
in construction and other industrial uses around聽聽
[300]
the world and it's also become very popular as a聽
potential inflation hedge as well just like gold聽聽
[306]
it's just a popular investable asset due to just聽
the increasing demand for raw materials globally聽聽
[312]
especially coming from emerging markets now聽
for investors seeking exposure to copper beyond聽聽
[318]
actually owning physical copper or or through mine聽
some sort of mining company that does it your best聽聽
[323]
alternative really probably just going to be聽
something like this one the the united states聽聽
[327]
copper index fund or cper there's definitely some聽
clean energy etfs to be found and one of them聽聽
[334]
that i did find was the invesco solar etf or聽
tan tan which uh nice play on on the on the聽聽
[342]
words there for the for the symbol um so anyway聽
tan is uh it's basically invests in in solar聽聽
[348]
companies and its largest holding i believe聽
is enphase last i checked let's double check聽聽
[352]
it m phase which is a large solar company based聽
out of california and uh pretty much all of their聽聽
[359]
holdings are going to be uh solar companies so if聽
you wanted to play the clean energy index this is聽聽
[366]
a nice one to take a look at all right be sure to聽
hit that like button and say hi in the comments聽聽
[370]
and let's keep going alright so moving on we have聽
a next gen play and that's going to be 5g etfs聽聽
[378]
and so um you know there's a few decent ones here聽
and pretty much all of them pay dividends and so i聽聽
[383]
just want to walk through a couple of them you聽
want to take advantage of the 5g movement so聽聽
[387]
basically all these etfs they're they're investing聽
in stocks of companies that are helping to develop聽聽
[393]
and deploy 5g technology and first one here is聽
vox or vanguard communication services index fund聽聽
[401]
now basically this is going to be your broadest聽
choice in this space it's going to give you聽聽
[406]
the the most global exposure to pretty much all聽
communication services and applications that are聽聽
[412]
are making use of 5g and it also has a super聽
low fee to go along with it and it's one of the聽聽
[416]
largest etfs on the market so but there's also聽
some other ones like the the benchmark pacer聽聽
[422]
benchmark data and infrastructure real estate etf聽
server srvr now this is a reit and or real estate聽聽
[430]
investment trust so it's going to pay out most of聽
its income in dividends and it basically invests聽聽
[437]
in other reits that own things like data centers聽
or cell phone towers and all of its top holdings聽聽
[443]
are going to be evenly split amongst those and聽
why would you go this route essentially and that's聽聽
[446]
because even though 5g is a wireless signal a lot聽
of physical infrastructure is is required to make聽聽
[453]
it work and so things like data centers and cell聽
phone towers are essentially needed to manage and聽聽
[461]
transmit those uh those 5g signals and so srvr聽
best plays that angle now the smallest 5g etf i聽聽
[469]
saw was next g nxtg it's a newer etf so i mean as聽
you can see it like doesn't even have like any聽聽
[475]
numbers or data volume so maybe it's too small聽
i don't know i didn't dig into it too much but聽聽
[481]
um that's when you could take a look at and then聽
there's also another one fivg this is the defiance聽聽
[487]
5g next-gen connectivity etf so it's uh looks like聽
it's got some better numbers there so a little聽聽
[493]
more volume so you can uh make some trades on聽
that if you wanted or however you want to invest聽聽
[498]
in it all right so i'm just gonna keep moving聽
on here so i had mentioned cathie wood earlier聽聽
[503]
in regards to a bitcoin etf and also in the news聽
recently you've got billionaires going into space聽聽
[509]
and so there's uh the potential there for a聽
possible play in the new space race or possibly聽聽
[515]
a consumer space travel who knows where any of聽
that is going to go but if you're interested in聽聽
[521]
maybe getting ahead on that in a space etf聽
there's not really too much out there but聽聽
[525]
one might be the arkx which again is a cathie wood聽
etf uh actively managed by her and her team i'm聽聽
[531]
just going to read this from what i saw on their聽
website it says it defines space exploration as聽聽
[536]
leading enabling or benefiting from聽
technologically technologically enabled聽聽
[541]
products and services that occur beyond the聽
surface of the earth and so those are the types聽聽
[545]
of companies that arkx invests in and right now聽
its current top holding is trimble but it's got聽聽
[550]
a lot of other things in there such as like 3d聽
printing boeing and even netflix among others聽聽
[556]
now if you're more interested in a passively聽
managed etf or index fund there's also the much聽聽
[563]
smaller procure etf or ufo as you can see聽
again when n/a there's like no data so聽聽
[571]
it's super small you may not even be able to get聽
much going with that so but something to take a look
[576]
at or keep an eye on or put on your watch list聽
who knows where that goes in the future all right聽聽
[580]
let's keep going so um one of the fastest growing聽
tech sectors currently is in cloud computing which聽聽
[586]
is basically saving data to the cloud and allowing聽
you to to access that information instantly from聽聽
[591]
just about anywhere and so what are some good聽
cloud computing etfs that we can look into to聽聽
[596]
to take advantage of of that growth the first one聽
i have on here is skyy skyy again it's a small聽聽
[604]
one a lot of there's a lot of etfs popping up all聽
the time in in in all these spaces something to to聽聽
[609]
keep an eye on if you want to get exposure into聽
that area i believe this uh their current top聽聽
[613]
holding is microsoft which obviously is a cloud聽
computing giant in that space now the cheapest etf聽聽
[620]
that i could find are based the one with the the聽
lowest um expense ratio and also that actually had聽聽
[625]
volume that more active that is the wisdom tree聽
cloud computing fund wcld it's pretty much the聽聽
[631]
most diverse in this space and it's also equally聽
weighted amongst all of its holdings as opposed to聽聽
[638]
a few larger stocks like say microsoft for example聽
getting more of the exposure all right so now we聽聽
[643]
come to spacs which have become very popular in聽
the last few years as more and more money and聽聽
[649]
new investors are piling into the markets and聽
with that some spac etfs have emerged as a new聽聽
[655]
investment tool for us investors to access the ipo聽
market basically spac stands for special purpose聽聽
[660]
acquisition companies and basically they're just聽
shell companies or blank check companies that聽聽
[665]
have no existing operations and their sole purpose聽
for being created is to raise money through an ipo聽聽
[672]
or an initial public offering in order to find and聽
purchase a private company that it'll eventually聽聽
[678]
acquire and so spacs they basically offer the聽
opportunity for retail investors like you and聽聽
[684]
me to who've basically largely been shut聽
out in the past from being able to invest聽聽
[688]
in private companies to invest in pre ipo聽
companies by investing in the spac itself and聽聽
[694]
the spac itself it's just a it's like a public聽
venture capital like firm i guess you could say聽聽
[698]
and with that we get their eventual uh聽
venture capital expertise to find these聽聽
[704]
companies for us and then you know since a lot聽
of individual spacs they're you know there's聽聽
[708]
they're not going to be winners essentially聽
a spac etf is going to give you the diversity聽聽
[713]
by investing in many spacs all at once now the聽
first in this space and the best one i could find聽聽
[721]
i would say is uh it's a passively managed fund聽
that gives you exposure to the entire ipo market聽聽
[727]
again it's pretty it's pretty small doesn't even聽
have average volume on here it's uh it's called聽聽
[732]
the the defiance next gen spac derived etf it聽
pretty much gives you the best way at this point聽聽
[738]
to get returns from both the spac itself and from聽
the stock's potential return after it hits the聽聽
[744]
market right now spak spac its top holdings are聽
lucid motors or lucid group which is essentially聽聽
[753]
you know lucid motors which is the electric car聽
company and also draftkings is one of their top聽聽
[758]
holdings the fantasy sports betting company all聽
