iShares Semiconductor ETF SOXX

iShares Semiconductor ETF is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by iShares (BlackRock), classified by Morningstar as Technology and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 10 July 2001. It is listed on NASDAQ in USD under the ticker SOXX, ISIN SOXX.

It belongs to the sector and thematic family. Sector products focus on one industry (technology, healthcare, energy, banking) and thematic ones on a trend (robotics, water, semiconductors). They're far more concentrated bets than a global index.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The investment seeks to track the investment results of the NYSE Semiconductor Index composed of U.S. equities in the semiconductor sector. The fund generally will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its index and in investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the component securities of its index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. The fund is non-diversified.

By concentrating on one sector, these products overlap with what you already hold in a global fund and amplify that weight without it being obvious. Seeing what they are worth next to your total net worth is exactly what saves you the surprise.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.
