The US tends to have large indices, think Nasdaq 100, S&P500 and the Russel 2000. Nothing wrong with that if you want a wide diverse ETF. But today we’re looking at a narrow ETF covering the 20 largest listed US stocks, the iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF.
Listed only last month it has a total expense ratio is 0.2% and is naturally tech heavy and will pay quarterly dividends.
Why buy it?
This really is if you want to focus in on the biggest of the biggest without the long tail of very small stocks that usually make up an index. It’s also for those wanting lots of tech with a little of everything else.
For those just wanting true tech heavy have a look at the 1nvest ETF5IT*.
