Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund XLK

Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by SPDR (State Street), classified by Morningstar as Technology and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 16 December 1998. It is listed on NYSE Arca in USD under the ticker XLK, ISIN XLK.

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 investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in the Technology Select Sector Index. In seeking to track the performance of the index, the fund employs a replication strategy, which means that the fund typically invests in substantially all of the securities represented in the index in approximately the same proportions as the index. It generally invests substantially all, but at least 95%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index. 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.
