Our read on SOXQ
ASOXQ owns the semiconductor industry's landmark benchmark, the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index, for 0.19% a year. About 30 US-listed chip names, at roughly half the fee of the typical semiconductor fund.
The Fund seeks to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.19% a year against a semiconductor-fund median near 0.35%. Same industry, less friction.
- Undercuts the category's best-known tickers on fee: SMH at 0.35% and SOXX at 0.33%.
- Tracks the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index, a focused basket of roughly 30 US chip companies. No stock-picking, no theme drift.
- A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, and one of the stronger builds in the semiconductor cohort.
Worth knowing
- About 30 stocks in one industry. That concentration puts it among the more volatile funds in its peer group, in both directions.
- Not the absolute cheapest chip ETF: CHPS runs 0.15%, though it tracks a different index.
- Launched in 2021, so its record is shorter than the decade-plus histories of the category's older funds.
