The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)
- The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) offers broad exposure to the companies powering AI, cloud computing, and the global chip supply chain — but it’s far from evenly weighted - NVIDIA (~20.8%) dominates the fund, reflecting its leadership in AI GPUs - TSMC (~11%) anchors the manufacturing side of semiconductors - Broadcom, AMD, Applied Materials, Micron, and Lam Research round out critical parts of the ecosystem - Nearly 27% sits in “Others,” providing diversification across dozens of chip-related firms - SMH isn’t just a bet on one company — it’s a bet on the entire semiconductor stack, from design and manufacturing to equipment and memory - But investors should understand the concentration risk, especially with NVIDIA carrying so much weight
