Why this period and asset
SKYY is a theme ETF holding cloud infrastructure, software and platform companies. Since 2016 the cloud has become central to corporate IT spending, drawing a long-term growth story, but the path was far from smooth. It jumped in 2020 on pandemic-era digital-transformation hopes, then fell sharply from its peak in 2022 as high-growth, high-valuation tech was sold heavily during the rate spike. The window shows how sensitive a growth theme is to liquidity and rate cycles.
Interpreting the result
The cloud theme carries far more tech weight than a broad index, making it more volatile. This window held a sizeable maximum drawdown and notable loss periods, and in 2022 in particular expensive tech corrected heavily and took time to recover. Monthly investing keeps buying at lower prices through such declines, helping lower your average cost, but that has limits when the theme stays depressed. However attractive the growth story, the valuation at your entry point drives much of the result.
Caveats & limits
This result simplifies taxes, trading fees and currency effects, and past performance does not guarantee the future. Theme ETFs concentrate in one industry and are sensitive to trends and rate cycles; entering while richly valued can make drawdowns and loss periods larger than a broad index. As a dollar asset, the won-based outcome shifts with USD/KRW.

Frequently asked questions
How is a cloud ETF different from the Nasdaq?
The Nasdaq holds broad tech and growth names, while SKYY concentrates more narrowly on cloud-related companies. That makes it more sensitive to the heating and cooling of the cloud theme.
Why did it fall harder when rates rose?
High-growth tech carries far-future profit expectations in its valuation, so when rates rise the present value of those hopes shrinks and it tends to correct more. 2022 was a clear example.
Are taxes and currency included?
This simulation simplifies dividends, fees, taxes and currency. In reality, overseas-ETF taxes and currency moves are added and can change the final return.
