The Wearable Technology ETF (NASDAQ: WEAR) is the first wearable technology exchange traded product to market, providing investors with a liquid, cost-effective and diversified way to gain access to rapidly evolving wearable technology. To many consumers, the wearable technology market is identified by the Fit Bit sports bracelet, the Apple Watch, and Google Glasses, but it is so much more. Wearables technology is a global trend and in addition, it spans ten sub-sectors including healthcare, electronic equipment, textiles, and aerospace.

Wearables are expected to be a $19-billion industry by 2018, according to Juniper Research. Products including Fitbit fitness trackers, Android Wear watches, and the Apple Watch have helped fuel a rise in mainstream awareness of wearable's for the past several years, even leading Fitbit to go public in 2015. "With attractive growth rates after a new product launch because of the relative lower price points, decreasing costs, and improving technology; we believe wearables is an investment that has never looked better," says Bryce Tillery, Managing Partner at Eve Capital, the sponsor to the fund.

Wearable is a broad category of technology, found across almost every industry in a variety of applications. The 31-stock portfolio of WEAR includes global companies across 10 sub-sectors as identified by ETF.com.

Just as the market spiked with smart watches like the Apple watch and the Fitbit, wearable cameras that cost between $350 - $700 a piece to deploy across a police force will soon be rolled out across the US and the world. Just this week, Google and Levi's have announced the smart jean jacket coming out this fall for $350.00 according to CNBC. In China, wristbands have been sold to track millions of children too young to own a smartphone.

For Financial Advisors, the Wearable Technology ETF represents a global growth trend that they can invest in through companies focused on the future, and a way to potentially add alpha to a global allocation or breathe life into an old technology allocation that now lacks innovation. The excess returns of a fund, relative to the return of a benchmark index is the fund's alpha.

Plus as a smart beta product, it uses an equal weighted approach divided into a core and non-core tiered system. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.
