Hello, this is Hangul Teacher. In this video, I would like to introduce an ETF. The ETF I will be introducing this time is a semiconductor- related ETF called SOXX. Samsung Electronics, the number one company in Korea by market capitalization, is also a company related to tubes and conductors, and semiconductors are found in the electronic products we use frequently right now.
As such, both the public and investors are showing great interest in semiconductor-related companies. Today, I would like to introduce the HF, which groups together US semiconductor companies. So, shall we take a look together at what kind of TF SOXX is? First, let's briefly look at SOXX. Its official name is the ICLs Semiconductor ETF, and it is an ETF operated by Block.
The ticker is SOXX. It was listed on July 10, 2001, making it an ETF that has been operating for a whopping 21 years. The fee is 0.4%; considering that VN SPY charges around 0.06% for the top ETF by market capitalization, SOXX is currently undergoing a somewhat higher fee structure. Next It has a market capitalization of approximately 8 trillion won, and the index it tracks is the ICE Semiconductor Index.
Originally, SOXX tracked the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, but it began tracking the ICE Semiconductor Index in 2011. However, since both are semiconductor-related indices, there is actually little difference between them. Next, the index weighting method determines weights based on the opening price.
In other words, you can think of it as companies with higher weightings being those with larger market capitalizations. As of May 6, 2022, the price per share is $412. It is an ETF with a high price per share. Now, let's take a look at what kind of returns SOXX is showing and how good its performance is.
I intend to make a yearly comparison, specifically comparing it with the market capitalization ETF 1, SPY. We can see that SOXX demonstrated significantly superior performance until 2022. However, due to the correction that occurred in 2022, SOXX faced a much greater decline. If we compare the one-year performance of both, the zero percent return means that holding the stock for almost a year yielded virtually no profit.
While semiconductor companies, in particular, showed high stock price growth among growth stocks up to 2021, it appears that this is preventing a larger stock price decline in 2022. This is why SOXL, a 3x leveraged semiconductor ETF, is currently gaining popularity among many investors. Next, let's look at the stock regions of SOXL Exxon.
Most of the stocks included in SOXL are U.S. companies; 90% are U.S. firms. However, we can see that Taiwan and the Netherlands also account for a certain weight. In the case of Taiwan, there is a company that immediately comes to mind when we think of semiconductor arms: TSMC. Since TSMC is included in the ETF, Taiwan accounts for a certain portion of the portfolio.
Next, regarding the Netherlands, we can see that ASML, a duopoly in semiconductor lithography equipment, is included, confirming that the Netherlands is also part of SOXL. Therefore, regarding the two ETFs, which one accounts for the largest weight? Let's take a look at which companies are included.
The company with the largest weighting is Broadcom. Next is Nvidia, which we know well and is more famous for its graphics cards. Following that, AMD ranks third, competing with Intel and taking market share away from it. Intel, one of the traditional powerhouses, takes fourth place. Qualcomm is in fifth, and Texas Instruments, the number one analog semiconductor company, occupies seventh place.
Just like Texas Instruments, Analog Devices is a company that sells analog semiconductors. Next is Microchip Technology, and KL ESP Semiconductor takes ninth place. The combined weight of these 10 companies accounts for about 56% of the total. So, we can confirm that these 10 companies account for nearly half of the ETF.
Finally, let's look at the distributions that SO XX pays out. If this collapses, it has become legendary as of May 6, 2022. What is called dividends in stocks is... in this TF... It is called a dividend. Since SO XX is also trading at 2t, it generates dividends. Dividend payments are made in March, June, September, and December, and the current yield is around 0.84%.
In fact, there are not many semiconductor companies that pay out large dividends. While companies like Broadcom, Apple Instruments, and Analog Devices pay over 2% in dividends, if you look at companies like Nvidia, they either don't pay dividends at all or pay very little. Therefore, although the dividend yield of SO XX is not high, you can confirm that it is consistently paying out.
So, regarding SO XX, the star of today's ETF, I think it is a worthwhile ETF for those who want to invest in semiconductor companies but are unsure where to invest because there are so many attractive firms. That concludes today's ETF introduction. I will return with another ETF introduction video next time. Thank you for watching.
