The Renaissance IPO ETF (NYSEArca: IPO) will part ways with nine of its current holdings while welcoming three additions when the exchange traded fund undergoes its quarterly rebalancing later this month.
The Renaissance IPO Index (Ticker: IPOUSA), the underlying index for IPO, will implement constituent changes after the close of U.S. markets on March 20, according to a statement from Renaissance Capital.
Among the nine stocks departing IPO is Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS), currently the ETF’s largest holding at a weight of nearly 10%. Shares of Zoetis are up 7.6% this year and the stock has helped IPO jumped 5%, keeping the ETF durable even in the face of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), the fund’s third-largest holding, entering a bear market.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NasdaqGS: NCLH) and Pinnacle Foods (NYSE: PF) are among the other stocks leaving IPO. IPO’s underlying index only holds companies for two years after the IPO date.
