On Thursday, VanEck announced the launch of the VanEck Vectors Social Sentiment ETF (BUZZ), which provides investors value-added exposure to large cap U.S. stocks with the most bullish investor sentiment and perception. “We are experiencing a monumental moment within the history of the retail investor—Twitter, Reddit, Stocktwits, and dozens of other platforms have established communities for investors to discuss stocks, and as a result of soaring online engagement, they have become an alternative dataset for investors to scour and utilize for a performance edge,” said Ed Lopez, Managing Director, Head of ETF Product for VanEck. “BUZZ empowers individual investors to potentially benefit from the predictive insights gained by measuring the collective convictions about stocks, ultimately building the benchmark for social sentiment.”
