Our read on TEK

ETF.net Research

FBlackRock's tech stock-pickers, in an ETF wrapper. TEK runs an actively managed, roughly 50-name portfolio of global technology companies, from established leaders to smaller disruptors, in a corner of the market where almost everyone else just buys the index.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of global technology companies, including established leaders and emerging disruptors.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Active and global by mandate: the managers can hold non-US names and all market caps, territory that US large-cap tech index funds barely touch.ishares.com
  2. 02Concentrated on purpose. About 50 holdings means individual picks actually register, instead of being diluted across a whole sector index.
  3. 03Stock-picking delivered ETF-style: intraday trading and daily published holdings, rather than the once-a-quarter peek of a traditional active tech fund.blackrock.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01Active pricing: 0.77% a year, against index rivals VGT and XLK at under 0.10%. That gap is the bar the manager's picks have to clear.
  2. 02Launched in October 2024, so the track record is short. There is not yet a full market cycle to judge the stock selection against.
  3. 03Small and lightly traded next to the category's index giants, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you place an order.
