PSCTBInvesco S&P SmallCap Information Technology ETF

VGTAVanguard Information Technology ETF

In short

PSCT Tech exposure without the mega-cap giants. PSCT owns roughly 70 small US technology companies drawn from the S&P SmallCap 600, an index that only admits companies with real earnings behind them.

VGT Vanguard's technology sleeve, indexed since 2004: roughly 300 US tech stocks running from megacap giants down to small caps, for 0.09% a year. Broad coverage of the sector rather than just its household names.

Stated mandate

PSCT The fund uses an index designed to measure the performance of US information technology companies.

VGT The fund seeks to track an index measuring the investment return of information technology stocks. It uses an indexing approach for large-, mid-, and small-capitalization U.S. technology companies and normally invests at least 80% of assets in target-index stocks.

Why people hold it

PSCT At 0.29% a year it undercuts the typical fund in its tech peer group, and it has run the same small-cap playbook since 2010.
Its S&P SmallCap 600 universe requires positive earnings in the latest quarter and across the last four combined, screening out the cash-burning end of small-cap tech.wikipedia.org spglobal.com
The index is capped, so no single name balloons into an outsized weight, and the fund rebalances and reconstitutes quarterly as companies grow in or out of small-cap.invesco.com
Sits in the upper half of its technology peer group, and it sticks closely to the index it names in its own documents.

VGT Casts a wide net: about 300 US technology stocks across large, mid and small caps, not just the megacap names everyone already knows.vanguard.com
Charges 0.09% a year, roughly a quarter of what the typical technology sector ETF asks.
One of the largest and most actively traded sector funds around, and it has followed its index closely.
Running since 2004 and among the strongest implementations in its technology peer group. Pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

PSCT Trading is thin next to giants like VGT and XLK, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
One sector, one size band: about 70 small US tech names swing harder than a broad-market or mega-cap tech fund.
Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly. The mandate is sector growth, not income.

VGT Weighted by market value, so the biggest platform companies drive most of the return. The small caps are along for the ride.
One sector, one country: US technology only, which means bigger swings than a total market fund.
If the last basis point matters, XLK and FTEC list at 0.08%.
