Publishers of video games, makers of related accessories and peripherals as well as “large conglomerates whose business models actively support the video game, interactive training, or simulation segments” are eligible for inclusion in GAMR and its underlying index.

GAMR's top 10 holdings include Activision Blizzard, Inc. ATVI, GameStop Corp. GME and Electronic Arts Inc. EA.

“From mobile devices to personal computers, to consoles and set-top boxes, video games are enjoyed by over a billion people with estimates of global revenue approaching $100 billion annually,” according to PureFunds.

Both GAMR and IFLY charge 0.75 percent per year, or $75 per $10 invested.

HACK is the largest PureFunds ETF with nearly $724 million in assets under management.
