Hello everyone,

what do you think of the Gerd Kommer ETF

IE0001UQQ933 $GERD (+0.44%) ?

I wanted to invest the risk part of my portfolio here but I'm not quite sure😬

I am actually a fan of his theories and think the ETF is solid. However, I find it questionable that an ETF is being set up here (with currently little total capital) in the name of one person. What happens if Mr. Kommer is no longer around in 50 years?

Will the ETF fall or be taken over by an institution? Will the index continue to be adjusted?

What do you think?

What happens to Mr. Kommer is irrelevant for the ETF. As it tracks an index that functions according to defined rules.
$GERD The ETF is not intended as a risk investment, but as a stand-alone. It is so broad that it will perform like any world ETF, with minimal deviation due to the factor tilt. (the target is 1% more return p.a.)
It makes no sense to add it, as it will perform like the market. You don't add $VWCE either.

If you want to add factors, you do it via factor ETFs:
$XDEV, $XDEM, $XDEQ...
