Read MoreHide Full Article
The Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (IGPT - Free Report) was launched on June 23, 2005, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Technology - Software segment of the equity market.
An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs also provide investors access to a broad group of companies in particular sectors that offer low risk and diversified exposure. Technology - Software is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 1, placing it in top 6%.
Index Details
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $644.68 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Technology - Software segment of the equity market. IGPT seeks to match the performance of the STOXX WORLD AC NEXGEN SOFTWARE DEV ID before fees and expenses.
The STOXX World AC NexGen Software Development Index is comprised of companies with significant exposure to technologies or products that contribute to future software development through direct revenue.
Costs
When considering an ETF's total return, expense ratios are an important factor, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.56%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.04%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
It is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. 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 62.4% of the portfolio. Telecom and Healthcare round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Alphabet Inc (GOOGL) accounts for about 9.36% of total assets, followed by Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) and Micron Technology Inc (MU).
The top 10 holdings account for about 61.34% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has added roughly 29.99% so far this year and is up about 29.88% in the last one year (as of 12/22/2025). In that past 52-week period, it has traded between $35.18 and $61.5.
The ETF has a beta of 1.13 and standard deviation of 25.71% for the trailing three-year period. With about 113 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco AI and Next Gen Software 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, IGPT 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.
