Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FTECAFidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF

SEMIFColumbia Select Technology 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.

SEMI No data

Stated mandate

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

SEMI No data

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.

SEMI No data

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.

How we measure overlap

Each holding counts at its smaller weight in the two funds, summed over the full Holdings. Sector, country and asset class use the same rule on each fund’s split. Cash, FX and derivative lines stay out of the counts. Two bond funds get no overlap figure.
