Chips, Equipment, Design, Memory
Description: SMH VanEck Semiconductor October 14, 2025
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: SMH) is a non-diversified, technology-focused ETF that commits at least 80 % of its net assets to securities that track its benchmark index, which consists of U.S.-listed common stocks and depositary receipts of semiconductor companies-including medium-cap and foreign issuers listed in the United States.
As of the most recent filing, SMH holds roughly 30 % of its assets in the top three holdings-NVIDIA, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), and ASML-reflecting the concentration typical of a sector-specific fund. The ETF’s expense ratio stands at 0.35 %, and its total net assets exceed $15 billion, making it one of the largest pure-play semiconductor ETFs. Key sector drivers include sustained demand for AI-accelerated computing, ongoing supply-chain bottlenecks that favor firms with advanced lithography capabilities, and macro-level exposure to global chip cycles, which historically have a 5-year average growth rate of about 6 % in revenue across the industry.
