The casinos and gaming sector includes companies that operate casinos, horse racing and harness racing facilities and provide gaming services. Data as of 01/28/21 MORE. The VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF tracks the MVIS Global Video Gaming and eSports Index which constitutes companies involved in video game development, esports, and related hardware.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) have become one of the most popular investment vehicles over the last 10 years. And like many index funds, there are index funds to fit every investing style. If you’re an investor whose personal convictions allow you to invest in sin stocks, then there are some vice ETFs that you may want to consider. Sin stocks are companies that allow us to indulge our vices. These include gambling, alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis companies. However, they also now capture the gaming community in all its forms. Most of the sin stocks were hit hard at the onset of the pandemic. But many of these categories are coming back. One reason for that is mounting evidence that our nation is moving on from the pandemic. As it relates to sin stocks, casinos have reopened in many states. The return of live sports has provided a catalyst for online and in-person sports books. Several states just passed ballot initiatives to legalize recreational marijuana. And while the bar and restaurant industry is still providing a drag on alcohol sales, it appears that consumers are still stocking their home bars. Here are 5 vice ETFs for safe investment in sin stocks: AdvisorShares Vice ETF (NYSEARCA:VICE) VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF (NYSEARCA:BJK) VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (NYSEARCA:ESPO) ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (NYSEARCA:MJ) Invesco Dynamic Leisure & Entertainment ETF (NYSEARCA:PEJ) Sin stocks remain volatile, and as I mentioned above, not all vice stocks are performing equally well. That’s a good reason to look at vice ETFs for portfolio exposure.

It’s no secret anymore that gaming, or esports, is big business and that trend should continue in 2020. That said, investors should keep gaming-focused ETFs on their watch lists for the new year.

“Today, the gaming industry is not just about a time-killing fun thing, in fact, it is now a million-dollar worth industry,” a Business Matters article noted. “With mobile gambling apps and online video gaming platform, you can make thousands of dollars in no time. There are certain ways through which you can make money through this industry and live a life of fortune.”

The article went on to note that areas that will continue growing within the gaming sector include development, content creation, in-game sales, online coaching, and esports careers.

“Making money in the eSports industry is a highly obtainable goal, all you need to do is find the correct option you are passionate about and take the risk, the article added. “Without risk, no one can ever be successful therefore it is the time to do something and make a fortune from eSports.”
