Read MoreHide Full Article
Looking for broad exposure to the Technology - Internet segment of the equity market? You should consider the Invesco NASDAQ Internet ETF (PNQI - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 06/12/2008.
While an excellent vehicle for long term investors, passively managed ETFs are a popular choice among institutional and retail investors due to their low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency.
Investor-friendly, sector ETFs provide many options to gain low risk and diversified exposure to a broad group of companies in particular sectors. Technology - Internet is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 9, placing it in bottom 44%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $1.05 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Technology - Internet segment of the equity market. PNQI seeks to match the performance of the NASDAQ Internet Index before fees and expenses.
This Index is a modified market-capitalization weighted index designed to track the performance of the largest & most liquid U.S.-listed companies engaged in internet-related businesses & that are listed on one of the three major U.S. stock exchanges.
Costs
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.60%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
While ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector--about 36.40% of the portfolio. Telecom and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN - Free Report) accounts for about 8.40% of total assets, followed by Paypal Holdings Inc (PYPL - Free Report) and Alphabet Inc (GOOG - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 59.03% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has added about 7.93% and is up roughly 11.50% so far this year and in the past one year (as of 10/28/2021), respectively. PNQI has traded between $204.66 and $262.24 during this last 52-week period.
The ETF has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 26.68% for the trailing three-year period, making it a high risk choice in the space. With about 84 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco NASDAQ Internet ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, PNQI is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Technology ETFs segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
