Our read on IGV

ETF.net Research

BIGV skips the chip fabs and the hardware and buys the code: about 110 North American software names, plus video games and interactive media. A software-only slice of tech that has been trading since 2001.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track an index of North American software equities and selected North American equities from interactive home entertainment and interactive media and services industries.

Why people hold it

  1. 01A clean software mandate: the index covers North American software plus interactive home entertainment and interactive media, so semis and hardware stay out.ishares.com
  2. 020.38% a year, a shade under the typical fund in its tech-sector group.
  3. 03Very actively traded and multi-billion-dollar in size, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.
  4. 04Running since 2001 under the iShares roof, a veteran of several full tech cycles rather than a fresh theme launch.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01One industry, about 110 stocks. A software-only book swings harder than a diversified tech fund that also holds chips and hardware.
  2. 02Broad tech rivals VGT, XLK and FTEC charge under a tenth of a percent for much wider coverage. You pay up here for the narrower mandate.
  3. 03North America only by design, so software companies listed in Europe or Asia sit outside the index.ishares.com
