Two unconventional ETFs use alternative data to guide investments: the Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (NANC) tracks stock disclosures by Democratic Congress members, while the VanEck Social Sentiment ETF (BUZZ) analyzes social media sentiment on large US stocks. Since its 2023 launch, NANC has returned 93.23%, beating the S&P 500's 78.79%, by focusing on durable, tech-heavy companies linked to political insiders. BUZZ, launched in 2021, returned 60.15% since inception, underperforming the S&P 500 due to its reliance on volatile social sentiment, which can misfire during market shifts. NANC is recommended for buy-and-hold investors seeking stability, while BUZZ suits tactical trading when momentum is strong.
