FundStrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF

GRNY

Market cap $2.87B

The Fundstrat Granny Shots U.S. Large Cap ETF (GRNY) trades at dangerously high valuation, with an average P/E of 65.12. Top holdings such as Tesla (256x), Robinhood (73x), and Palo Alo Networks (130x) highlight the ETFs extreme concentration in sentiment-driven, richly valued names. The valuation is higher than the Nikkei in 1989 and the Nifty Fifty in the early 1970s, both of which led to sharp long-term drawdowns.

GRNY's massive success continues. It's now crossed the $3B assets under management threshold and has gained 8.00% since my review two months ago. Tom Lee's thematic approach to stock selection provides investors with a completely different look at the U.S. growth space, which helps justify its hefty 0.75% expense ratio. This article highlights how "style tilt" is a prevalent theme, and my analysis strongly indicates momentum is a big part of the ETF's 27.55% total return since November 2024.

NEW YORK , Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fundstrat Capital's Granny Shots U.S. Large-Cap ETF (NYSE: GRNY) has surpassed $3 billion in assets under management (AUM), topping this milestone on Oct. 2, 2025, less than a year after its November 2024 inception. With this accomplishment, GRNY extends its status as one of the fastest growing ETFs in history from a new issuer.1 As of market close on Oct. 2, 2025, Fundstrat's actively managed ETF was up 26.54% year-to-date, compared with a 15.30% gain in the benchmark S&P 500 Total Return Index — an outperformance of 1,124 basis points.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee has been a notable pundit in this wildly bullish stock market.

GRNY delivers a high-conviction, actively managed ETF built on 7 macro themes, outperforming major passive peers since its late 2024 launch. The fund's strategy blends top-down and bottom-up analysis, targeting large-cap U.S. stocks aligned with short- and long-term economic drivers. While GRNY trades at a premium and carries concentration risk, its thematic approach and active management justify the higher expense ratio for me.

Granny Shots seems to be a rather unusual name for an ETF, at least in my view. Undoubtedly, if you're not a basketball fan, you probably have no idea what the name of the ETF entails.

In recent years, the subject of portfolio growth has taken on a much larger level of importance with younger Millennials to Gen-Z.

Since its 1957 debut, the S&P 500 Index has been such a strong and reliable arbiter of US stock market health that Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have both routinely touted it in interviews.

The ETF market is more crowded than ever. With well over 4,000 U.S.-listed ETFs — more funds than U.S. stocks — differentiation has become its own strategy.

One of the benefits of fintech apps and the appeal to Gen-Z and trading on sites like RobinHood is a greater awareness and urgency from the younger generation on the subject of retirement.
