Tuttle’s New HBMX Targets Memory Semiconductor Ecosystem

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0400

On Tuesday, June 2, Tuttle Capital premiered the Tuttle Capital Concentrated Memory Stack ETF on Cboe. Operating with an expense ratio of 95 basis points, HBMX offers exposure to pure-play memory stack companies in the rapidly growing memory semiconductor ecosystem.

The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) has a similar focus to HBMX. As the most dominant ETF debut of 2026, DRAM recently crossed $14 billion in AUM after launching just two months ago. A comparison with HBMX reveals distinct strategic variations, however. DRAM utilizes a highly-concentrated model, with less than a dozen holdings as of early June. The strategy mandates that portfolio companies generate at least 50% of their revenue from memory semiconductor manufacturing or development. Additionally, DRAM requires a minimum market capitalization of $10 billion and an average daily trading volume of $5 million for its constituents. The lion’s share of its portfolio is in non-U.S. exposures.

In contrast, HBMX employs a more flexible investment framework, permitting inclusion regardless of market capitalization or trading volume. While it shares a focus on the memory semiconductor sector, HBMX operates with a lower memory-related revenue threshold of 25%. The fund also maintains a slightly broader portfolio of approximately 20 to 35 holdings.
