It’s no secret anymore that gaming, or esports, is big business and that trend should continue in 2020. That said, investors should keep gaming-focused ETFs on their watch lists for the new year.

“Today, the gaming industry is not just about a time-killing fun thing, in fact, it is now a million-dollar worth industry,” a Business Matters article noted. “With mobile gambling apps and online video gaming platform, you can make thousands of dollars in no time. There are certain ways through which you can make money through this industry and live a life of fortune.”

Healthcare is huge. In 2017, healthcare spending in the U.S. Totaled $3.5 trillion - nearly 18% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), which is the total market value of all products. That ETF has a lot of exposure to Microsoft and Apple. Combined, they make up about 35% of the exposure in the ETF. Brian, we can't talk ETFs and passive investing without talking about Vanguard, too. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock's fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price.

The article went on to note that areas that will continue growing within the gaming sector include development, content creation, in-game sales, online coaching, and esports careers.

“Making money in the eSports industry is a highly obtainable goal, all you need to do is find the correct option you are passionate about and take the risk, the article added. “Without risk, no one can ever be successful therefore it is the time to do something and make a fortune from eSports.”

Morningstar 5 Star Etf Funds

The number of funds that receive a Morningstar Analyst Rating is limited by the size of the Morningstar analyst team. To expand the number of funds we cover, we have developed a machine-learning model that uses the decision-making processes of our analysts, their past ratings decisions, and the data used to support those decisions. The machine-learning model is then applied to the “uncovered” fund universe to create the Morningstar Quantitative Rating (denoted on this page by a ), which is analogous to the rating a Morningstar analyst might assign to the fund if an analyst covered the fund. These quantitative rating predictions make up what we call the Morningstar Quantitative Rating™ for funds. Click here for more on how to use these ratings.
