VistaShares
This address is how we stay in touch with the professionals who follow our work.
VistaShares delivers innovative Liquid Alternative investment solutions for today's investors. VistaShares ETFs are actively managed by industry and investment experts, offering a number of distinct strategies. Supercycle® Growth Equity ETFs seek exposure to technology-driven economic Supercycles® that the adviser believes may offer long-term growth potential. Target 15® option-income ETFs seek to generate monthly income while complementing a core equity portfolio. Income is not guaranteed and will vary, and the Target 15® name refers to the strategy's objective rather than a guaranteed or promised return. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that any investment objective will be achieved, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

The subject of this address
This address writes about the difference between a fund price and what it holds. Those two numbers are not the same thing on any given day, the gap opens and closes with how easy the underlying is to trade, and a person buying at the wrong moment in that cycle has paid a cost that will never appear in any performance figure they are shown afterwards.
The mechanism is worth understanding rather than memorising. When the market for the underlying holdings is thin or shut, the visible price is a live opinion and the stated value is a stale calculation, and neither is wrong. Reading a gap as a bargain or as a warning without knowing which of the two is stale is how a cost gets paid twice.
Most of that cost is paid at the moment of trading and by the person trading.
Which is why the timing of an entry is a cost decision as much as it is a view, and why it is worth deciding in advance rather than in a hurry.
The practical habit that follows is unexciting: avoid the open and the close where the gap is widest, use a limit rather than a market order on anything of size, and treat a wide gap as information about the underlying rather than as an opportunity in itself.
What people ask this address
Does this replace the fee schedule?
No. The published expense is the published expense and nothing written here changes it. These notes are about the costs that sit beside it, which are not published anywhere and are usually larger in a year with any trading in it.
Why write about costs rather than returns?
Because a cost is close to certain and a return is not. The part of an outcome that can be estimated in advance with any confidence is the part worth being careful about, and it is the part least often discussed.
Is any of this specific to one product?
No. Nothing on this page names a fund, quotes a performance figure or offers anything. It describes what mail from this address writes about. Anything specific arrives with the disclosures the regulator requires alongside it.
How do I stop these?
Reply to any message from this address and say so, or write to the address at the top of this page. It is acted on for every address at your firm we hold, not only the one that wrote, and it does not expire.
Is there a charge for any of this?
No. Nothing from this address is sold and nothing on this page asks for anything. It is written because the people who evaluate strategies for a living tend to ask the same set of questions, and answering them once in public is cheaper than answering them one at a time.
