What to watch

• Thematic ETFs like 2B76 often move with broader innovation cycles and investor appetite for automation, much like the VanEck Video Gaming and eSports UCITS ETF (ESPO) tracks gaming trends.
• Because the fund is concentrated in a specific theme, its performance may differ more sharply from broad-market funds like the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (VFEM) or bond-focused options such as the iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF EUR Hedged (Acc) (AGGH).
• Investors may also compare it with the iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF (INRG) to understand how different thematic strategies behave over time.
