TTEQDT. Rowe Price Technology ETF

XLKAState Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF

In short

TTEQ T. Rowe Price brings its stock-picking habit to tech: roughly 50 hand-chosen names, no index to shadow. The trade-off is an active price tag in a category where the index giants charge pennies.

XLK A 1998 original: XLK owns the technology slice of the S&P 500, about 70 names, for eight basis points. Big, heavily traded, and top-heavy by design, with quarterly caps the only brake on the giants at the top.

Stated mandate

TTEQ The fund seeks long-term capital growth.

XLK The fund seeks to track the price and yield performance of the Technology Select Sector Index before expenses.

Why people hold it

  • TTEQ Stock-picked, not index-tracked: about 50 tech names run against a long-term capital growth mandate instead of a benchmark to hug.
  • A compact roster means each pick carries real weight, so the portfolio can look very different from the big index funds sitting beside it in the category.
  • Built for growth, not income: the stated objective is long-term capital growth, and distributions have not been part of the story.
  • XLK Costs 0.08% a year against a roughly 0.40% median for broad tech funds, tying FTEC as the cheapest of the category's top-rated names and undercutting VGT's 0.09%.
  • One of the largest and most actively traded funds in the tech aisle, so entering or exiting rarely means fighting the order book.
  • Running since December 1998 and dead simple: the tech sector of the S&P 500, spanning software, semiconductors, hardware, communications equipment and IT services. Pays quarterly.ssga.com

Worth knowing

  • TTEQ 0.63% a year is the cost of the manager's judgment. The largest index tech ETFs (VGT, XLK, FTEC) charge a small fraction of that.
  • Young fund: it launched in October 2024, so there is little live history behind the stock selection.
  • Trading is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can run wider than on the household-name tech index funds.
  • XLK Top-heavy by construction. About 70 stocks, and the index only trims its biggest weights at quarterly rebalances to stay inside fund diversification limits.spglobal.com
  • The universe is S&P 500 tech only. Smaller tech companies outside the big index are out, and the Select Sector funds split the S&P 500 up, so some familiar names sit in other sector funds.ssga.com
  • It is one sector with no ballast from the rest of the market, so a tech drawdown lands here in full.
