$FOTO Tuttle Capital Pure Play Photonics ETF
Tuttle Capital · launched May 29, 2026 (4 months ago)
What FOTO is
The Tuttle Capital Pure Play Photonics ETF targets companies whose business is built around photonics: optical components, lasers, optical networking gear and the manufacturers behind them. Recent holdings have included names such as Lumentum, Coherent, Ciena, IPG Photonics and Fabrinet.
Worth knowing
FOTO gets part of its exposure through total return swaps and holds a meaningful slice of cash and Treasury bills alongside those swaps, so its holdings list looks different from a plain stock basket. Check the issuer's latest holdings file to see how exposure is split between shares and swaps.
