Our read on IGM

ETF.net Research

In short

BTech with the fence moved. IGM's index reaches past the classic tech sector to add selected communication-services names and Canadian listings, holding about 300 stocks. It has been running since 2001.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. and Canadian technology companies together with selected communication-services companies.

Why people hold it

  • The "expanded" part is the whole point: the index pairs U.S. and Canadian technology companies with selected communication-services names, so internet and media businesses that pure tech-sector funds exclude are in the mix.ishares.com
  • About 300 holdings across two countries, a wider net than sector funds drawn only from the S&P 500.
  • Launched in March 2001, it is one of the long-running names in tech ETFs, now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively.
  • Tracking has been tight: the portfolio has stayed close to the S&P North American Expanded Technology Sector Index it promises, and it is among the stronger implementations in the broad tech group.

Worth knowing

  • Fees are the trade-off. At 0.37% it sits just under the broad-tech median, but plain tech trackers VGT, XLK and FTEC charge under 0.10% for a narrower mandate.
  • This is one slice of the market: North American tech plus some communication services, and nothing else. When that corner moves, the whole fund moves with it.
  • Distributions come quarterly, but a growth-sector equity basket is built around the companies, not the payout.
