AdvisorShares launched a new active management firm based on strategies employed by investment firm Gerber Kawasaki, marking the issuer’s 22nd fund and its first multithematic offering.

The [**AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (GK)**](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001408970/000182912621004875/advisorshares-gk_497k.htm) began trading Friday, sporting an initial expense ratio of 0.75%. That price tag will rise to 0.81% after a first-year discount expires in July 2022.

GK aims to be composed mainly of growth-oriented U.S. and foreign equities that Gerber Kawasaki believes will take off based on global macroeconomic or thematic trends. The California-based wealth advisory firm claims more than $2 billion in assets under its management.

Upon its launch, GK’s largest holdings are ETFs. The largest position it has is in the [**AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS)**](https://www.etf.com/MSOS) at a 5.13% weight, followed by the [**GlobalX Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (LIT)**](https://www.etf.com/LIT) at 4.95%. The rest of its holdings with more than a 3% weight include large cap stocks like Tesla, Nvidia, MGM, Disney, Microsoft and homebuilder Lennar.
