NDQvsSEMI
Broad tech index or concentrated chip sector exposure?
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF · BetaShares Global Semiconductors ETF
NDQ gives broad Nasdaq 100 exposure; SEMI concentrates specifically in global semiconductor companies. SEMI is a pure-play chip sector bet - higher potential upside when semis outperform, but far more volatile and sector-specific than the diversified NDQ.
