Katie Stockton manages the Fairlead Tactical Sector ETF (TACK), a nimble option for investors during market stress. The ETF rotates monthly between S&P 500 sectors, excluding technology. As of April 16, top holdings were consumer staples, utilities, and real estate.

Since Trump’s tariffs, TACK is down 4%, outperforming the S&P 500’s 6.9% loss. In contrast, sector-specific ETFs like Invesco Top QQQ Trust (QBIG) and GraniteShares YieldBoost TSLA ETF (TSYY) have seen significant declines in 2025. BTIG’s Troy Donohue praises TACK’s performance during market volatility.
