- Guinness Atkinson Global Innovators Fund Investor Class (IWIRX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of growth-oriented companies worldwide positioned to benefit from technological innovation and advances. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to such equities, with a portfolio emphasis on large-cap growth stocks across sectors including technology (approximately 43%), financial services, communication services, industrials, and healthcare; top holdings typically feature companies like Netflix Inc., Amphenol Corp., NVIDIA Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., and ANTA Sports Products Ltd., comprising over 20% of assets, with approximately 72% in U.S. stocks, 26% in non-U.S. stocks, and minimal cash exposure. It offers Investor Class shares with a net expense ratio of 1.24%, a minimum initial investment of $5,000, and daily pricing, categorized in the Global Large-Stock Growth segment. Managed by Matthew Page since May 2010 and Ian Mortimer since May 2011, the fund traces its inception to December 15, 1998, and is domiciled in the United States, with operations available to U.S. investors through platforms like Schwab and Fidelity. Guinness Atkinson Asset Management, Inc., the fund's adviser and a sister entity to the U.K.-based Guinness Global Investors (formerly Guinness Asset Management, founded in 2003), maintains headquarters at 251 South Lake Avenue, Suite 800, Pasadena, California. The firm oversees total assets under management of approximately $342 million across its funds, focusing on discretionary investment company clients. In recent developments, Guinness Atkinson Asset Management announced plans in 2024 to convert two of its mutual funds, including potentially elements of its innovator strategy lineup, into ETFs to meet growing shareholder demand for exchange-traded products, reflecting a strategic shift toward enhanced liquidity and accessibility. This follows the 2022 rebranding of its U.K. affiliate to Guinness Global Investors, expanding the global footprint of the shared investment philosophy while maintaining SEC-registered mutual fund offerings for U.S. investors like IWIRX amid assets reaching about $196 million. The fund continues to emphasize innovation-driven growth without reported acquisitions, partnerships, or major portfolio overhauls in 2024-2025, sustaining a low turnover rate of 25%.
