Hypatia Women CEO ETF WCEO ETF


A new Exchange Traded Fund is taking the next step with gender diversity investing. The Hypatia Women CEO ETF (WCEO) is the first ETF to focus strictly on women-run companies.

The only two requirements for a company be owned in WCEO are that it has a market cap of at least $500 million and a woman runs the company, either from the CEO or Chairperson position.

WCEO will have at least 80% of its assets in US companies that female Chief Executive Officers lead. Furthermore, the fund may invest up to 20% of holdings in US companies with an Executive Chairperson or a Chairperson who is female.

WCEO is a one-of-a-kind ETF, but it does have some competition if an investor is looking for a woman-focused ETF.


This is a good alternative investment due to the fact that women running businesses are not aggressive, do not make short-term actions and are better at ESG decisions.


I feel WCEO is a good buy because, over the last few years, we have continued to get more evidence indicating that women are better leaders than men. One recent example of this is the Covid pandemic, in which women-run countries managed the crisis better. Another study showed that US states with women governors had fewer people die than states with male governors.

A study on leadership performed by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman found that women were rated more competent on every level of leadership than men. This study used 360 assessments to evaluate the effectiveness and get an accurate result.

If you aren’t yet sold, this may help push you over the edge. As of May 2022, 32 companies in the S&P 500 were led by women. If we look at the performance of those 32 companies compared to the rest of the S&P 500 over the past ten years, the results are the female lead companies rose 384% compared to just a 261% increase by the male lead businesses.

ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK ) The   ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF   ( HACK )   has slumped 28.27% from Jan. 2022 to the present, though it has shown some signs of life over the past two months. After hitting a new low for 2022 on Oct. 13, HACK bounced 14% (which outpaced NASDAQ’s 9% bounce in that same time). It hit resistance at about $47.50 on Dec. 1 but seems to have found some support around $42.60. This chart, like many stocks as of late, doesn’t look so hot. But check out HACK’s past three years… That tells a somewhat different story. You can see where cybersecurity stocks were headed before inflation, bond yields, and interest rates dragged on the market this year. But the underlying trend hasn’t changed. The odds that cyber threats will decrease in the coming years are, to quote Muhammed Ali, “Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.” HACK and cybersecurity stocks are likely to return to previous highs and then some.
