IAI: Broker-Dealer Alpha Continues, The Best Of The Financials Sector
I reiterate my buy rating on IAI, as broker-dealer stocks show strong momentum and relative strength versus other Financials in 2025. IAI's diversified portfolio, solid long-term earnings growth, and bullish technicals support its premium valuation and alpha potential. The ETF's concentration risk and elevated volatility are notable, but strong liquidity and seasonal July tailwinds bolster my positive outlook.

IAI: Would Have Liked More Equity Brokerage Exposure
The iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF is not ideal for the current market, given its exposure to investment banking and capital markets. Volatility benefits equity brokers, but IAI's top holdings include companies not profiting fully from current market conditions. The ETF's 0.4% expense ratio is unjustified given the liquidity and accessibility of its top holdings, making selective stock picks more appealing.

IAI: Time To Shift Financial Exposures
The iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF is exposed to businesses indexed to primary and secondary market activity in debt and equity. Rising rates could negatively impact fixed-income brokerage and fixed-income primary markets. It's not great for AM, either. Even equity capital markets underwriting could suffer, as IPO markets are still pretty weak and would not appreciate re-inflation and rate hikes if that were to come.
