Gaming ETF / mutual funds to invest in Japan?

Post by ivanpgs »

Hi,

Lately I was thinking into getting some part of my portfolio invested in the gaming industry and was having a look at the possibilities out there.
I see that in US they have several options, being HERO and ESPO my preferred options.

Both ETFs have quite similar companies in the portfolio, and the management fees are also around 0.50%. However, HERO seems to be more country diversified. So I feel more tempted to go for HERO.

Anyone knows any similar ETF or mutual fund in Japan investing in the game industry?

If anyone is interested I am dropping some information about both ETFs below:

Definitely not a recommendation, as I think this is far too concentrated a bet...

Otaku ETF -> https://globalxetfs.co.jp/funds/2640/index.html

VR ETF -> https://emaxis.jp/fund/253482.html

For MFs, I think there's only the iFreeActive e-sports one but its like 1.5% management fee.
