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
