The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) made its debut on 07/10/2001, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Technology ETFs category of the market.
Over the last five years, the S&P 500 has more than doubled with a 116% total return. The technology sector -- led by such companies as Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Broadcom, and Oracle -- is up even more at 160%.

Can investors get technology-sector exposure with exchange traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P 500 or SPX?
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) was launched on July 10, 2001, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Technology - Semiconductors segment of the equity market.

SOXX offers the best balance of AI exposure and diversification among semiconductor ETFs, avoiding overconcentration in single stocks like NVIDIA. The recent U.S. approval for NVIDIA and AMD to sell AI chips to China is a major catalyst, reviving growth prospects for the sector. SOXX remains volatile and exposed to geopolitical and sector-specific risks, so it should be used as part of a diversified, multi-thematic portfolio.
iShares Semiconductor ETF is up 13% year to date as the semi-industry is riding the strong fundamentals behind AI investments. The fund allocates AMD stock at the top spot with a higher position in analog semiconductor manufacturers. I believe that the SOXX ETF provides a 10% upside gap following the superior portfolio allocation.
If you're interested in broad exposure to the Technology - Semiconductors segment of the equity market, look no further than the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 07/10/2001.

The semiconductor sector is the main driver of the information technology segment of the S&P 500, and SOXX appears to represent it very well. Key catalysts include the U.S.–Saudi deal and easing U.S.–China trade tensions, which reduce sector risks and support bullish growth projections. So I believe this justifies the sector's early-year growth expectations, before the "Liberation Day."
Semiconductors are the beating heart of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Graphics processing units (GPUs), AI accelerators, high-bandwidth memory, and networking equipment fill modern data centers, delivering the computing capacity developers need to create advanced AI software.
