IGVCiShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF

RSPTBInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Technology ETF

In short

IGV IGV 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.

RSPT Tech without the megacap gravity. RSPT hands each of the S&P 500's roughly 80 technology names the same slice and resets every quarter, so the sector's giants carry no more weight than its smaller names.

Stated mandate

IGV 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.

RSPT The Fund is designed to follow the S&P 500 Equal Weight Information Technology Index, investing at least 90% of assets in index securities. The index equally weights information technology stocks from the S&P 500 and rebalances quarterly.

Why people hold it

  • IGV A clean software mandate: the index covers North American software plus interactive home entertainment and interactive media, so semis and hardware stay out.ishares.com
  • 0.38% a year, a shade under the typical fund in its tech-sector group.
  • Very actively traded and multi-billion-dollar in size, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.
  • Running since 2001 under the iShares roof, a veteran of several full tech cycles rather than a fresh theme launch.ishares.com
  • RSPT Equal weight by design: about 80 S&P 500 tech stocks, one identical slice each, rebalanced quarterly. No single giant steers the fund.invesco.com
  • Running since 2006 and it hews closely to its index. A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.
  • One of the stronger implementations in a crowded broad-tech aisle, with a plain index mandate and quarterly distributions.

Worth knowing

  • IGV One industry, about 110 stocks. A software-only book swings harder than a diversified tech fund that also holds chips and hardware.
  • Broad 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.
  • North America only by design, so software companies listed in Europe or Asia sit outside the index.ishares.com
  • RSPT 0.40% a year lands mid-pack for tech sector funds but well above cap-weighted majors like VGT (0.09%), XLK (0.08%) and FTEC (0.08%).
  • Equal weighting leans on the sector's smaller members and the quarterly reset trims what ran up. Expect it to move to a different beat than cap-weighted tech.
  • Still a single-sector fund: everything inside is S&P 500 information technology, with the concentration that implies.
