FTECAFidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF

IVVAiShares Core S&P 500 ETF

In short

FTEC Fidelity's tech sleeve runs 0.08% a year and holds about 300 names, tracking an MSCI index that reaches from mega-cap chipmakers down into small-cap software. Cheap beta on the whole US tech stack, not just the giants.

IVV The 2000-vintage iShares take on the S&P 500, now a $100B-plus cornerstone holding: roughly 500 large US companies, 0.03% a year, and tracking that stays tight to the index.

Stated mandate

FTEC Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Information Technology Index.

IVV The fund seeks to track the investment results of an index made up of large-capitalization U.S. equities.

Why people hold it

  • FTEC At 0.08%, it ties the cheapest fund in its broad-tech group and undercuts VGT's 0.09%, against a cohort median of 0.40%. On a sector sleeve, that gap compounds quietly.
  • The MSCI USA IMI benchmark covers large, mid and small cap US tech, so the roughly 300 holdings stretch past the mega-cap tier alone.msci.com
  • Trading since 2013 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it sits in the top quartile of its broad technology peer group.
  • IVV Costs 0.03% a year, a fraction of the typical fee among S&P 500 trackers, and undercuts the category's founding fund (SPY, 0.09%) on the same index.
  • Tracking is the whole job, and it does it about as tightly as this peer group gets: roughly 500 large US companies, no manager discretion bolted on.
  • A $100B-plus fund that trades heavily all session, which is what keeps bid-ask spreads thin for retail-sized orders and institutional blocks alike.
  • Running since 2000 as a registered open-end fund, with quarterly distributions and one of the longest live records in the S&P 500 aisle.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • FTEC Membership follows GICS Information Technology, so several household-name tech businesses classified into other sectors never show up here.msci.com
  • One sector, one story: tech moves harder than the broad market in both directions, and roughly 300 names does not soften that.
  • Distributions arrive quarterly, and a growth-heavy sector index is not built around payouts.
  • IVV Pure US large cap. No mid caps, no small caps, nothing overseas, so it works as one slab of a portfolio rather than the whole thing.
  • It rides the index in both directions: when the S&P 500 has an ugly year, this has the same ugly year, minus the fee.
  • A near-identical rival shaves a basis point (SPYM at 0.02%). On $10,000 that gap is about a dollar a year, so structure and trading habits matter more.
