The ETF includes a mix of common stocks and depositary receipts, diversifying across various companies, from established players to emerging innovators.

SMH is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SMH, with a substantial AUM of over $23 billion, reflecting its popularity among investors. While the funds expense ratio and tracking error are crucial considerations, they are balanced by the expertise of VanEck in navigating the complexities of the semiconductor industry.
