How it works
DRUP tracks the Nasdaq US Large Cap Select Disruptors Index, which Nasdaq Inc. designs. The index starts with the companies in the Nasdaq US 500 Large Cap Index. It gives each one a ‘disruption score’ from a model that uses business measures such as patent value, revenue growth, research and development spending, and gross margins. The 50 companies with the highest scores go into the index.
Holdings are weighted by modified free-float market value. Free float means the shares the public can actually trade. Bigger companies get bigger weights, with limits to stop any one stock from dominating. The index chooses new members twice a year and resets weights every quarter. As of June 30, 2026, Microsoft was 8.6% of the fund, Alphabet 8.3% and Meta 6.1%, and the top 10 holdings made up 48.9%. Portfolio turnover, the share of holdings replaced over a year, was 47%.
The fund is passive. It must keep at least 80% of its assets in index stocks and usually buys every stock at roughly its index weight. If a stock is hard to trade, it may hold a representative sample instead. It may use futures and options to mirror the index or keep trading costs down, but not to speculate. It may lend up to one-third of its assets to other firms for a fee. It uses no leverage or option-income strategy. It also won’t sell a struggling company unless the index drops it.
What it really costs
- DRUP charges 0.6% a year, versus an average of 0.54% for the similar funds below (7th of 9, cheapest first).
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $61 in the first year and $750 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DRUP | $61 | $192 | $335 | $750 |
In a retirement portfolio
DRUP is a concentrated, tech-heavy stock fund that pays no income, so it fits as a small add-on to a broader core holding rather than as the core itself.
DRUP could add a tilt toward large, research-heavy technology and health care companies beside a core fund. Its market price data starts in August 2023, so it doesn’t cover the 2008, 2020 or 2022 slumps. The prospectus does show a 20.28% loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The fund’s deepest drop in the price data was 23.8%, from February 10 to April 8, 2025. It recovered by June 25, 2025, about 2.6 months later. Both full calendar years shown were gains, and the weaker one was 18.2% in 2025.
Anyone forced to sell during a drop like that would lock in losses. The fund paid no income in the year to October 27, 2026. It costs 0.60% a year, or $61 over one year on $10,000 under the SEC’s standard example. Past results don’t predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Investors wanting a rules-based tilt toward 50 innovation-heavy large companies such as Microsoft, Alphabet and Eli Lilly, held as a small satellite position.
- Investors who don’t need income from this holding, since DRUP paid no dividends in the year to October 27, 2026.
- Investors who can sit through sharp swings, like the 23.8% drop in early 2025 and the 20.28% loss in early 2022.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-conscious investors: DRUP’s 0.60% fee is above the 0.54% similar-fund average and more than double QGRW’s 0.28%.
- Retirees who need regular income, since DRUP’s trailing yield was 0% as of October 27, 2026.
- Investors wanting broad diversification: as of June 30, 2026, the top 10 holdings were 48.9% of assets and technology was 46.4%.

Questions investors ask
What does the DRUP ETF invest in?
DRUP holds 50 large US companies picked by the Nasdaq US Large Cap Select Disruptors Index. Nasdaq scores each company in its Nasdaq US 500 Large Cap Index on measures such as patent value, revenue growth and research spending, then keeps the top 50. As of June 30, 2026, the largest holdings were Microsoft (8.6%), Alphabet (8.3%), Meta (6.1%) and Eli Lilly (6.0%). Technology was 46.4% of the fund, and health care and communication services were 14.3% each.
Does DRUP pay a dividend?
No. DRUP paid no dividends in the year to October 27, 2026, so its trailing yield was 0%. Many of its large holdings put their cash back into research and growth rather than paying it out. Anyone looking for regular income from a stock fund would need to look at funds built around dividend-paying companies instead.
What is DRUP's expense ratio?
DRUP’s expense ratio is 0.60% a year, according to the prospectus filed October 28, 2026. That works out to about $61 after one year, $192 after three, $335 after five and $750 after ten on a $10,000 investment, using the SEC’s standard example with a 5% yearly return. The average for similar funds is 0.54%, and DRUP ranks 7th of 9 on cost, so most comparable funds charge less.
DRUP vs QGRW: what's the difference?
Cost and size are the biggest differences. WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Fund (QGRW) charges 0.28% a year against DRUP’s 0.60%, and it had about $2.65 billion in net assets as of June 30, 2026, compared with DRUP’s $46.6 million. About 36% of their holdings overlap. Through October 27, 2026, QGRW returned 12.3% over one year and 30.1% a year over three years. DRUP returned 5.1% and 25.3%. Both are worth comparing on how they pick stocks.
How has DRUP performed since it launched?
DRUP has delivered strong but uneven returns. Its prospectus shows 18.08% for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 17.16% a year since its October 2019 launch. Its benchmark index returned 18.58% over that same year. The ride was bumpy, though: the strongest quarter gained 24.15% (June 2020) and the weakest lost 20.28% (March 2022). Based on market price, the fund returned 5.1% over the year to October 27, 2026.
