iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF

IGM

Market cap $8.91B

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market, the iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF (IGM) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on March 13, 2001.

BlackRock's (NYSE: BLK) iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF (IGM) has been the exemplar of the technology sector's ability to outperform the U.S. stock market for more than two decades.

Investors with little or no exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) stocks like Nvidia and Palantir probably underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025. AI will likely remain a key driver of stock market returns in 2026, and the iShares Expanded Tech Sector ETF offers broad exposure to the entire industry.

BlackRock's extensive ETF lineup, comprising roughly 200 funds, is offering a broad view of how long-term thematic and sector exposures have evolved.

I rate both IYW and IGM as buys, but prefer IGM for its superior diversification and lower valuation multiples amid heightened market concentration. IGM offers broader exposure with 277 holdings and a 26.43% top 3 weight, versus IYW's 140 holdings and 44.85% top 3 concentration. IGM's lower P/E (28.79) and P/B (7.70) versus IYW (P/E 29.36, P/B 8.31) provide a better risk/reward profile in today's high-multiple environment.
