The Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXQ) has returned 49% year-to-date and 125% over the past year by focusing on semiconductor companies that supply hardware for AI and hyperscaler data centers. The fund avoids software vendors and infrastructure resellers, concentrating on chip makers like NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Micron, which benefit directly from increased capital expenditure in AI technology. SOXQ charges a low fee of 0.19%, making it cheaper than alternatives like the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), while delivering similar returns. However, the fund is highly concentrated in a few large companies and faces risks from geopolitical export controls and valuation concerns. SOXQ suits investors seeking cost-effective, focused exposure to AI-driven semiconductor growth, especially those confident in continued hyperscaler spending through 2026.
