Behind the Ticker: Deglobalization and the DRES ETF

Описание: As the world shifts toward a more multipolar landscape, resilience is moving from a policy talking point to a practical investment strategy. In this episode of Behind the Ticker, host Brad Roth sits down with Sam Klar, Portfolio Manager at GMO, to go under the hood of the GMO Domestic Resilience ETF (DRES).

Domestic industrial capacity and supply-chain independence are no longer just political slogans—they are long-cycle economic priorities. Sam explains how GMO's core philosophy of quality and value led to the creation of a portfolio designed to capture U.S.-linked economic strength by focusing on companies with high domestic revenue dependence.

Highlights from this conversation include:

The GMO DNA: How a nearly 20-year career at GMO shaped Sam’s focus on quality, value, and high-conviction investing.

Broad benchmarks might leave you more exposed to global volatility than you think. DRES offers a concentrated alternative through its 35–40 holdings.

Klar digs into the the pillars underpinning the resilience strategy, walking through the buckets and how as active managers GMO selects stocks for inclusion. DRES isn't just a thematic play, and Klar expands on how valuation discipline governs every position.

The conversation also covers why the domestic resilience trend transcends whoever is in the White House and how advisors are using DRES in their portfolios to complement tech-heavy or global core holdings.
