Wedbush Files ETF Targeting the Labor- and Asset-Heavy ‘Analog Economy’

The Wedbush Analog Economy ETF will track the Solactive Analog Economy Index, which comprises of roughly 50 U.S.-listed “analog economy” companies whose businesses depend heavily on human labor, physical assets and tangible output. Target industries include construction, building materials, industrial machinery, manufacturing, packaging and commercial services. Companies must pass liquidity and asset-intensity screens, while businesses primarily tied to AI, semiconductors, data centers and power infrastructure are excluded. The 50 largest eligible companies are selected, with individual holdings capped at 5% and industries at 25%.
