Technology Sector SPDR
Technology Sector SPDR (XLK) is an exchange‑traded fund designed to give investors broad exposure to the US technology sector by tracking a technology‑focused index. It concentrates on large‑capitalisation companies across software, hardware, semiconductors and IT services, so holdings are often dominated by a handful of industry leaders. The ETF is passively managed, typically has a low expense ratio relative to actively managed funds, and can serve as a straightforward way to gain sector exposure without selecting individual stocks. Investors should be aware of sector concentration risk, sensitivity to interest‑rate changes and valuation swings, and the cyclicality of technology spending. XLK is suitable for those seeking long‑term exposure to technology trends but not as a substitute for a diversified portfolio. This is general information only and not personal advice; values can rise and fall and past performance does not predict future returns.
