AI is fundamentally disrupting the software industry, lowering barriers to entry and intensifying competition, especially for mid-sized companies. Large software firms with strong moats, brand power, and data — like Microsoft, Salesforce, Spotify and Palo Alto Networks — are better positioned to adapt and benefit from AI. IGV ETF is preferable due to its concentration in resilient, leading software companies likely to withstand and capitalize on AI-driven changes; I rate IGV as hold.

XSW offers diversified exposure to the software sector, balancing large, mid, and small caps, unlike concentrated large-cap peers like VGT. The fund is well-positioned to benefit from accelerating A.I. adoption and robust software industry growth, especially in SaaS and digitalization trends. Attractive valuation metrics and a lower P/E than broader IT ETFs provide compelling growth at a reasonable price, despite moderate liquidity risks.
