Fund Details
Investment Thesis
IYW is undiluted technology: unlike XLK it includes no payment processors dressed as tech, and its RIC-capped weighting lets the giants dominate — the top three routinely exceed 45% of assets. That concentration made it a rocket through the AI cycle (+39.7% on the year) and will make it a crater in the next tech winter, as 2022's -35% reminded everyone. The 0.39% fee is steep against FTEC's 0.084% for near-identical exposure.
Who It's For
High-conviction technology bulls who want maximum sector purity and accept single-name concentration. Fee-sensitive buyers should price FTEC first.
