PSI seeks to match the performance of the Dynamic Semiconductor Intellidex Index before fees and expenses.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.31%.

Alternatives
Invesco Dynamic Semiconductors ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 (Strong Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors.
