FNGS is an ETN that provides exposure to an index of FANG companies (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google [Alphabet Inc.]), as well as other companies that exhibit similar characteristics. Presumably, the index will always include these five companies, an index committee is responsible for selecting the additional names. Eligible stocks must be listed on a US exchange (ADRs are acceptable), classified in the technology or consumer discretionary sectors, and exhibit characteristics of high growth technology and internet/media companies along with meeting minimum market capitalization and liquidity requirements. At least ten stocks must be included in the index, the number of constituents when the note launched so investors can expect a high level of concentration. All holdings are equally weighted, and are rebalanced quarterly.
