Launching An ETF

What is an ETF?

An Exchange-Traded- Fund (ETF) is a collective group of assets combined into one basket. An ETF generally focuses on a certain market aspect such as housing, oil, commodities, etc. This allows investors who want to get into the market to invest without having to worry about stock picking. Here at ATG we are focused on growth and starting our own Growth-focused ETF.

Why do we want an ETF?

At ATG Digital, we hold 100’s stocks in our portfolios. The common theme in the companies we decide to add to our portfolios is growth. However, we understand that investors do not want to hold onto and keep track of 100’s of companies. So, we created the GBC 100. The GBC 100 holds 100 companies that we believe have tremendous upside potential. These companies have strong balance sheets, YoY revenue growth, and a growing client base. Investing in the GBC 100 gives you the option to diversify your money between 100 companies with one click and without having to spend thousands of dollars.

What does this mean for ATG services?

We are focused on big gains over a long period of time. Starting an ETF is not going to change our investment strategies or our portfolio services. We are going to continue recommending, analyzing, and updating you on all of our positions. 

What is the difference between the portfolio services and the GBC 100 ETF?

Both the portfolio services and the GBC 100 ETF are focused on growth stocks. The portfolio services offer individual stock recommendations. We have seen many of our recommendations hit triple and even quadruple-digit gains. To be quite honest, we have also seen some of our recommendations produce losses. Picking individual stocks can produce massive gains and sometimes even very quickly! However, if the company does not perform well, you can see the stock price plummet. Investing in individual stocks can be very volatile in both directions. This is where the GBC 100 ETF comes into play. The GBC 100 will hold 100 different companies. That means if one company underperforms the stock price of the ETF will be balanced out by the companies that outperform. This gives investors a way to invest in growth companies while mitigating much of the volatile swings. Even though the GBC 100 ETF will be holding 100 companies, it does not mean each company will be equally weighted in the ETF. The weight of the ETF amongst the different companies is not yet determined.

Why now?

We believe the start of the next bull market in growth stocks is just around the corner. We want to take full advantage of these crazy low stock prices and be ready when the bull market kicks into high gear. We want to fill our GBC 100 ETF with as many shares of the companies as possible and ride the wave up. Once growth investors come back into the market and see our ETF and what we hold, we believe they will come in and buy into our ETF.

What is in it for ATG?

Some of our biggest values at ATG are honesty and transparency. We are a business that needs income to pay for staff, subscriptions, software, etc. So, we are looking to add another stream of revenue to keep ATG up and running. Creating and running the GBC 100 ETF will allow us to take in a small management fee that will help us with all our overhead. We want to be here for a long time to serve you and help you navigate the financial market to help you towards financial freedom.

How much needs to be raised for the launch?

To launch the GBC 100 ETF, we need an estimated $20M in soft commitments.
