Recent price action shows a sharp divergence between short-term and long-term performance, with the fund gaining +1.30% over one day before dropping -5.28% over the following week. Despite this weekly pullback, the fund posted strong gains of +9.54% over one month and surged +34.69% over three months. Year-to-date returns stand at +32.65%, while the one-year return is recorded at +22.75%. The longer-term trajectory is significantly more aggressive, with the three-year return reaching +101.64%. This pattern indicates a period of substantial acceleration in value over the multi-year horizon compared to the more volatile short-term fluctuations.
The fund carries a High volatility label and a beta of 0.82, indicating that its price movements are generally less sensitive to market swings than the broader index despite the high volatility classification. A Sharpe ratio of 0.65 suggests the fund has generated moderate risk-adjusted returns relative to the volatility it experienced. The maximum drawdown of -21.90% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of a beta below 1.0 and a high volatility label implies a complex behavior where the fund may not always move in lockstep with the market but still experiences intense price swings. Investors should note that the fund's risk profile includes the potential for deep corrections as evidenced by the drawdown figure.

HACK Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 2.41% and average daily volume is 170K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $2.59B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: HACK is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
