FTEC: The Right Core, But Not The Complete Picture

  • FTEC suffers from high concentration, backward-looking market cap weighting, and misses key tech names like Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet. Lower AUM leads to liquidity issues, making FTEC less attractive compared to larger peers like VGT, despite its slightly lower fees. DIY tech portfolios or more diversified ETFs like QQQ offer better risk-reward and flexibility than FTEC's rigid, concentrated approach.
