- VistaShares Animal Spirits Daily 2X Strategy ETF (WILD) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks daily investment results corresponding to two times (200%) the performance of an actively managed portfolio of five U.S. equity securities identified as "animal spirits" stocks, which are the most widely traded companies exhibiting the strongest investor sentiment and buying momentum; the portfolio rotates at least monthly based on systematic selection criteria linked to leveraged single-stock ETFs, with exposure achieved directly and indirectly through derivatives such as total return swaps, alongside holdings in U.S. Treasury bills and government obligations funds for collateral. The fund targets capital appreciation through this high-beta, tactical alpha strategy focused on retail-driven market volatility in total market equity, concentrating on non-diversified positions in popular names like NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR), Strategy Inc (MSTR), and Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) as of late 2025. WILD lists on the NYSE Arca exchange with a net expense ratio of 1.29%, CUSIP 45259A431, and serves sophisticated short-term traders rather than long-term buy-and-hold investors due to leverage decay risks. Launched on June 4, 2025, as the inaugural offering in VistaShares' Animal Spirits Tactical Alpha ETF family, WILD represents a recent strategic expansion by the firm, which was founded in 2024 and maintains headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional presence in San Francisco, New York, and Delray Beach, Florida. VistaShares, issued under Tidal Trust III and advised by Tidal Investments LLC with VistaShares as sub-adviser, simultaneously introduced the unleveraged companion VistaShares Animal Spirits Strategy ETF (ANIM), broadening its lineup that includes Target 15 options income ETFs (e.g., OMAH, QUSA, ACKY, DRKY, SIOO) and Supercycle growth equity ETFs (e.g., AIS, POW). In late 2025, the firm continued its product innovation with launches such as the Target 15 S&P 100 Distribution ETF (SIOO) on November 13 and marked the one-year anniversary of its Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF (AIS) in December, underscoring aggressive growth in thematic and leveraged strategies amid rising retail trading trends. As of December 2025, WILD manages approximately $2.4 million in net assets with around 120,000 shares outstanding and a 30-day median bid-ask spread of 0.46%.
