DMAT tracks an index of global stocks that produce metals and other raw materials essential to the expansion of disruptive technologies. Disruptive Materials Companies derive at least 50% of their revenues from the exploration, mining, production and/or enhancement of one or more of 10 materials categories that include Rare Earth Materials, Lithium, Copper, Carbon Fiber, etc. Stocks not meeting the revenue requirements are considered after review and recognized as Pre-Revenue Disruptive Materials Companies. In the case of Lithium, stocks with associated revenue between 25-50% are also eligible as Diversified Lithium Companies. The fund uses a natural language processing algorithm to identify and rank stocks. The five highest-ranked Disruptive Materials and Pre-Revenue Disruptive Materials Companies per materials category are selected.

Current EART snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $32.38, ATM IV 43.80%, expected move 12.56%. The long call on EART below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on EART specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for EART is inferred from ATM IV at 43.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.56% (roughly $4.07 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated EART expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on EART should anchor to the underlying notional of $32.38 per share and to the trader's directional view on EART stock.
EART long call setup
The EART long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With EART near $32.38, the first option leg uses a $32.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed EART chain at a 34-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 EART shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long call on EART
Long calls on EART express a bullish thesis with defined risk; traders use them ahead of EART catalysts (earnings, product launches, macro events) when the expected upside justifies the premium and theta decay.
EART thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for EART extends from approximately $28.31 on the downside to $36.45 on the upside. A EART long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. As a Financial Services name, EART options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to EART-specific events.
EART long call positions are structurally bullish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. EART positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move EART alongside the broader basket even when EART-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on EART are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current EART chain quotes before placing a trade.
