The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM), launched in April 2026, quickly amassed over $25 billion in assets, driven by rising AI-related memory demand. However, the ETF is heavily concentrated in three stocks—Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron—with Samsung diluting the pure memory play. Micron, a US-based pure memory stock, has outperformed the ETF significantly, rising 163% since DRAM's launch compared to the ETF's 108%. Investors seeking broader semiconductor exposure might prefer ETFs like SOXX or SMH, which offer diversification and lower fees. For taxable accounts, switching from DRAM to Micron may trigger large tax bills, but in retirement accounts, reallocating to Micron or broader semiconductors could better match investment goals.
