SPTEDSP Funds S&P Global Technology ETF

VGTAVanguard Information Technology ETF

In short

SPTE A tech sector fund built to Shariah rules. SPTE tracks a capped global index of roughly 100 technology names screened against Islamic investment guidelines, and it pays monthly.

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

SPTE The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the S&P Global 1200 Shariah Information Technology Capped Index through passive indexing.

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

SPTE The screen is the index, not an overlay: it tracks the S&P Global 1200 Shariah Information Technology Capped Index, so Shariah guidelines govern what gets in.
Global reach. Top-scoring rivals like XLK and RSPT carve up the S&P 500; SPTE's mandate spans technology worldwide.
A capped index caps concentration, so no single mega-cap can swell without limit, and the roughly 100-stock lineup stays a focused sector bet.
Income arrives monthly rather than on the usual quarterly sector-fund rhythm.

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

SPTE Conviction costs: 0.55% a year sits above the 0.40% typical for tech ETFs and far above index giants like XLK at 0.08% and VGT at 0.09%.
A screened, capped, global basket can behave quite differently from a plain US tech index. Different holdings, different ride.
Young (launched 2023) and mid-sized with moderate trading, so bid-ask costs weigh more here than at the heavily traded sector staples.

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%.
