BUZZ: Unquestionably Successful Strategy, But Risk-Adjusted Return Is Its Achilles Heel, A Hold

VanEck Social Sentiment ETF is a passively managed vehicle tracking the BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index. Though BUZZ has beaten IVV for three calendar years in a row and YTD, it has underperformed this S&P 500 ETF since inception, delivering extreme volatility and weak risk-adjusted returns. Heavy in high-beta, high-growth, expensive tech stocks, BUZZ is exposed to a risk of a steep drawdown if the market enters correction.
