Insights

ETF product strategist

Fundstrat is expanding the Granny Shots ETF family with two new ETFs, broadening exposure and adding an income overlay.

Fundstrat Capital plans to list the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Small- & Mid-Cap ETF (GRNJ) and the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap & Income ETF (GRNI) on NYSE Arca; GRNJ targets long-term capital appreciation in U.S. small- and mid-cap names and benchmarks the Russell 2500, while GRNI applies an options-based income overlay to holdings of the flagship GRNY. The flagship GRNY performance is stated as 30.12% year-to-date versus the S&P 500 at 17.52%, an outperformance of 1,260 basis points, and AUM surpassed $3.65 billion as of October 31, 2025.

The clear business mechanism is product-line extension: one ETF broadens exposure into small-/mid-cap via the Granny Shots stock-selection framework, the other seeks to generate income by layering an actively managed options strategy on large-cap exposure. Dependencies and risks disclosed include the funds' reliance on the Granny Shots selection process, the options overlay for income generation, and the unspecified timing of commencement of trading; past performance and AUM figures are reported but the release also cautions that past performance does not guarantee future results. Concrete items to watch are the official NYSE Arca commencement date for GRNJ and GRNI, changes in AUM from the reported $3.65 billion level, and standardized performance disclosures for GRNY at the provided performance link; these metrics will be informative over the near term following listing activity around the Nov. 11, 2025 announcement.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fundstrat Capital today announced that the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Small- & Mid-Cap ETF ("SMID Granny") (NYSE: GRNJ) and the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap & Income ETF ("Granny Income") (NYSE: GRNI) are expected to commence trading soon on NYSE Arca. These two new ETFs broaden and strengthen Fundstrat's Granny Shots ETF family, adding a SMID and an income-oriented product, providing investors with enhanced ways to invest in Fundstrat's thematic and super-cycle focused investment products.

The announcement follows the strong performance of Fundstrat Capital's flagship ETF, the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF (NYSE: GRNY) delivering 30.12% year-to-date performance versus the S&P 500's 17.52%, an outperformance of 1,260 basis points and surpassed $3.65 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of October 31, 2025¹

"Granny Shots has resonated with investors, evidenced by the astounding surge in AUM, and now our expanded offerings offer complementary ways to invest in our thematic-focused and evidence-based investment products," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, CIO and Lead Portfolio Manager at Fundstrat Capital. "We will continue to provide weekly commentary and video to our ETF holders so that our investment process and rationale remain clear and understandable."

The Fundstrat Granny Shots US Small- & Mid-Cap ETF (NYSE: GRNJ) seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of U.S. small- and mid-cap equities. GRNJ combines Fundstrat's macro and thematic analysis with quantitative stock screening, targeting companies aligned with at least two key investment themes. Benchmarking the Russell 2500, GRNJ offers exposure to high-conviction small- and mid-cap names positioned for long-term capital appreciation.

"Our goal has always been to create products that reflect Fundstrat's core beliefs and commitment to evidence-based research," said John Bai, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Fundstrat. "We're grateful for the continued trust from our investors and remain dedicated to providing the insights and partnership they rely on to navigate today's market environment."

The Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap & Income ETF (NYSE: GRNI) seeks to provide income by applying an options-based income overlay to the underlying holdings of Fundstrat's flagship ETF, the Fundstrat Granny Shots US Large Cap ETF (NYSE: GRNY). GRNI combines the Granny Shots macro-thematic stock selection framework with an actively managed options strategy designed to generate additional income while maintaining large-cap U.S. equity exposure.

"GRNY's first-year performance underscores the value of a disciplined, research-driven process," said Ken Xuan, Co-Portfolio Manager at Fundstrat Capital. "GRNJ applies that same methodology to small- and mid-cap opportunities through the Granny Shots stock-selection strategy."

The Fundstrat Granny Shots strategy, grounded in Fundstrat's evidence-based research, identifies the macro forces shaping markets and applies them through a disciplined, rules-based investment approach. By integrating longer-term structural drivers with shorter-term tactical factors, the strategy seeks to deliver long-term capital appreciation. The term "granny shot" refers to an unconventional basketball free throw style, often a more fundamentally sound way to shoot a free throw. For the Funds, it represents Fundstrat Capital's distinct research process.

About the Granny Shots Strategy
The Granny Shots stock selection strategy is Fundstrat Capital's thematic and research-driven approach to equity selection. It incorporates a top-down assessment of macroeconomic, demographic, and business-cycle trends alongside a bottom-up quantitative screening process.

The strategy uses a set of longer-term and shorter-term investment themes to guide stock selection. Longer-term themes include millennials, global labor supply, energy and cybersecurity, and easing financial conditions. Shorter-term themes include style tilt, seasonality, and PMI recovery. Companies considered for inclusion in a Granny Shots portfolio must demonstrate alignment with at least two of these themes.
