IGV: Software ETF That Offers Concentrated Opportunity In The Technology Sub-Sector
Software remains a long-term growth industry, making ETFs like IGV an attractive option for exposure to leading software stocks. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF is heavily weighted toward established software giants, but new entrants can rise quickly within the portfolio as their market caps grow. Performance is volatile, with potential for large gains or losses in short periods, and IGV is highly correlated with broader tech ETFs like XLK and QQQ.
