HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF (ITEP.L) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Solactive Innovative Technologies Index, providing equal-weighted exposure to global companies driving innovation across eight disruptive technology sub-sectors: Robotics & Automation; Cloud Computing & Big Data; Cyber Security; Future Cars; Genomics; Social Media; Blockchain; and Digital Entertainment. Issued by HANetf ICAV, an Irish-domiciled open-ended investment company managed through HAN ETF Ltd, the ETF employs a physical replication strategy focused on mid-cap growth stocks in the technology and industrials sectors, with key holdings including Cipher Mining Inc, Rigetti Computing Inc, Sealsq Corp, IREN Ltd, and CleanSpark Inc. Launched on 5 October 2018 and listed on the London Stock Exchange among other European exchanges, it is accumulating in nature with a total expense ratio of 0.59% and targets investors seeking long-term exposure to Industry 4.0 megatrends, primarily in North America, Europe, emerging markets, Japan, and Asia ex-Japan.
HAN ETF Ltd, the promoter and platform provider founded in 2017 and headquartered at 107 Cheapside in London, England, operates as Europe's first independent white-label ETF specialist, partnering with asset managers like GinsGlobal to deliver thematic products with over $4 billion in total assets under management across its range. The ETF maintains a diversified portfolio of approximately 122 holdings, rebalanced semi-annually, with no currency hedging and a focus on companies involved in innovative technologies across broad industries.
In recent developments, the ETF has undergone strategic consolidations to enhance viability amid low assets in thematic peers; in 2025, HANetf completed the merger of the Grayscale Future of Finance UCITS ETF (GFOF, $7 million AUM) into the HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF effective around 19 March, increasing its assets to approximately $108 million. This followed a prior merger of the HAN-GINS Cloud Technology Equal Weight UCITS ETF (SKYY) into the fund due to insufficient assets, reflecting ongoing portfolio rationalization in a challenging thematic ETF environment marked by 2024 outflows. These changes position the ETF as a consolidated vehicle for tech megatrend exposure without altering its core index-tracking mandate.
