The iShares S&P 100 ETF recently replaced Nike, Colgate-Palmolive, Simon Property Group, and Honeywell with four AI-related tech companies: Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Arista Networks, and SanDisk. This change reflects the growing market capitalization of AI infrastructure firms and highlights the ETF's shift from traditional blue-chip stocks to a tech-focused portfolio. Investors should note that while the ETF still offers mega-cap exposure, it now resembles a tech-heavy fund similar to Invesco QQQ but with a higher fee. For those seeking broad market exposure, Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF (VOO) is a cheaper alternative, while QQQ offers deeper tech and AI focus.
