iShares Semiconductor ETF

iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) offers investors targeted exposure to companies engaged in the semiconductor industry — including chip designers, manufacturers and equipment suppliers. The ETF aims to track the performance of a semiconductor-focused index, delivering a single, tradable instrument that reflects broad industry trends rather than the fortunes of any one company. SOXX typically holds a concentrated set of large and mid-cap names, so its performance is closely linked to cyclical demand for chips across computing, mobile, automotive and industrial markets. Investors should note that ETFs carry market risk, sector concentration risk and potential tracking error versus their benchmark. Metrics such as assets under management and average daily volume are often more relevant than a single-company market capitalisation. Fees, liquidity and the fund’s holdings can affect outcomes. This is general educational information only and not personal advice; values can fall as well as rise and past performance is not a reliable guide to the future.
