The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) outperformed the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) by about 20 percentage points year-to-date in 2026 due to its more evenly weighted holdings, reducing top-heavy risk associated with large-cap names like Nvidia.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clear choice between concentrated and balanced chip ETFs shaping returns this year. Reassess your semiconductor ETF exposure this week to avoid dependency on a few mega-cap names dragging performance.
