  • The listed net annual expense ratio is 0.33%.
  • Its reference measure is NYSE Semiconductor Index.

iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) concentrates on the semiconductor sector through the NYSE Semiconductor Index. Its economic exposure includes the companies involved in the chip industry rather than the full technology market. Demand for computing, Capital spending and semiconductor Manufacturing cycles can affect several holdings simultaneously.

Investment approach and market coverage

iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) uses an index-tracking mandate. The stated benchmark is NYSE Semiconductor Index. The benchmark defines the eligible Investment universe, and its membership and weights shape the portfolio. An index objective does not mean the fund and benchmark will match exactly. Expenses, transactions, cash balances and implementation decisions can create differences. The scope of the mandate matters when comparing this exposure with an existing portfolio, because funds with similar names may cover different securities or market segments.

Holdings and underlying exposure

In the official holdings file dated 3 November 2026, selected leading stock positions were Advanced Micro Devices at 8.98%; Nvidia at 8.18%; Broadcom Inc at 7.83%; Micron Technology at 7.79%; Intel Corporation at 5.91%. These figures are security-level portfolio weights; separate securities from the same issuer may appear in other rows. Holdings and weights can change.

Aggregating the reported Equity rows by the issuer file’s sector labels gives Information Technology at approximately 99.86%. These are calculated sums of rounded security weights, rather than a separate issuer-published allocation table. Cash, Derivatives and other asset classes are excluded from these sector sums. The composition helps explain which economic exposures accompany the stated mandate.

Fees distributions and share pricing

iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) has a listed gross annual expense ratio of 0.33% and net annual expense ratio of 0.33%. At the net rate, USD 10,000 held at a constant value for a full year would imply approximately USD 33.00 in annual fund expenses. This is an illustrative fee calculation, excluding changes in value, brokerage costs and bid-ask spreads. Expenses are reflected within the product rather than quoted as a promised investment outcome.

The stated distribution frequency is quarterly. The schedule describes how often distributions are expected, while payment amounts depend on income and other applicable fund circumstances. A distribution is distinct from capital appreciation and does not establish a fixed future payment. Shareholders also need to consider their own tax treatment, including any treatment of distributions or gains on sale.

iShares reported net asset value of USD 450.99 per share as at 4 November 2026. NAV measures the underlying net asset value allocated to a share; it is not an exchange closing-price quotation. Shares trade on NASDAQ, where the transaction price can differ from NAV and where the bid-ask spread adds to the cost of entering or exiting a position.

Industry cycles and shared commercial risks

Semiconductor businesses are exposed to inventory cycles, customer capital spending and rapid changes in product requirements. Export controls and the location of manufacturing capacity can also affect Supply chains. Several holdings may depend on the same end markets, including computing infrastructure and electronic devices. A collection of chip-related shares therefore remains an industry concentration, even when the companies operate at different points in the semiconductor value chain.

Key Insights

iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) is defined by its benchmark and eligible investment universe. Its holdings explain the actual exposure, while the fee schedule and distribution arrangements explain important ownership mechanics. These features need to be considered together: broad coverage, a particular style or a specified Maturity band each changes the risks a Shareholder takes. The investment objective remains a target, and the value of the shares can decline.
