IYW In Focus
The underlying Russell 1000 Technology RIC 22.5/45 Capped Index includes companies in the following sectors: software and computer services and technology hardware and equipment. The Index is capitalization-weighted and includes only companies in the technology industry of the Dow Jones U.S. Total Market Index. The fund charges 40 bps in fees.
Why The Move?
The fund is heavily weighted in artificial intelligence (AI) majors like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. While Apple initially lagged behind its peers in the AI race, the company recently announced its own generative AI efforts, which helped its stock soar in recent sessions. About 45% of the fund's weight is invested in the world's three most valuable companies. Given this data and the ongoing AI boom, the fund had every reason to hit a 52-week high yesterday.
More Gains Ahead?
The fund has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). It also has a positive weighted alpha of 44.25. So, there is a decent outlook ahead for those who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.
