GTA VI Sales May Break Records: GAMR Offers Exposure

It’s a huge moment for video games, with GTA IV sales poised to break records. Earlier this week, both Sony (SONY) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced that the game was the most pre-ordered on Playstation and Microsoft stores, respectively. An opportunity, then, presents itself for investors to get exposure to GTA VI parent firm Take-Two Interactive (TTWO). The thematic Amplify Video Game Leaders ETF (GAMR C) offers exposure to TTWO and several other key gaming names.Key Takeaways: GTA VI Arrives this month, potentially breaking several gaming and entertainment sales records. The game from TTWO could see the firm’s stock spike and will serve as a marker for game sales broadly. GAMR offers exposure therein, and has returned 21.99% over the last three years. GAMR charges a 59 basis point fee to track the VettaFi Video Game Leaders Index. That index provides a market cap-weighted approach to the 20 biggest names in the video game value chain. The index, furthermore, uses a banded market cap-ranking approach, with the top five weighted at 10%, the next five at 5%, and the bottom 10 at 2.5%. TTWO sits in that last category. The stock is actually down YTD, which could position it to deliver a strong end to the year with the release of what might be the biggest game ever. GAMR’s tax efficiency, thanks to its ETF wrapper, as well as its flexibility, may make it a strong route into the launch’s upside. GAMR has returned 8.4% YTD, itself. Over the last three years, it has returned 21.99%, notably outperforming its ETF Database Consumer Discretionary Equities category average for that time. It has outperformed on a YTD basis, too.

GAMR has a longer term investment case, beyond the launch of the new GTA. Thanks to its diversification across the gaming value chain, it could present a durable addition to portfolios. For now, however, it could stand to benefit if TTWO spikes following the release of what may be its greatest achievement.
