Banks & Investment Platforms

This basket owns businesses that earn from deposit-funded lending, investment banking, brokerage and client assets rather than enterprise technology spending. With the broader market pulling back, the theme offers a different earnings engine tied to credit demand and financial activity. Credit losses and weaker capital-markets activity remain the principal risks. Launch basket (equal weight): JPM, BAC, C, GS, MS, WFC, HOOD, IBKR Rules: 1. No inverse, leveraged or volatility ETFs. 2. Only names tradable at the enrolled brokers (Moomoo): no OTC listings, no dead tickers, nothing on the refused list.
