Read MoreHide Full Article
The Invesco DWA Technology Momentum ETF (PTF - Free Report) was launched on 10/12/2006, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market.

Investor-friendly, sector ETFs provide many options to gain low risk and diversified exposure to a broad group of companies in particular sectors. Technology - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 10, placing it in bottom 38%.

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
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund's holdings before investing. Luckily, 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 90.40% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, Digital Turbine Inc (APPS - Free Report) accounts for about 7.67% of total assets, followed by Apple Inc (AAPL - Free Report) and Five9 Inc (FIVN - Free Report) .
