This ETF offers low cost, broad-based exposure to the telecom industry, making in an option for investors looking to overweight a corner of the U.S. market that can often deliver attractive dividend yields. There are, however, some potential drawbacks: a handful of mega cap companies account for a huge portion of total assets, diminishing some of the diversification benefits that may be more apparent in a fund like XTL. VOX can be a handy tool for investors implementing a sector rotation strategy or establish a value tilt, but be aware of the huge concentration in a small handful of stocks.
The adjacent table gives investors an individual Realtime Rating for VOX on several different metrics, including liquidity, expenses, performance, volatility, dividend, concentration of holdings in addition to an overall rating. The "A+ Metric Rated ETF" field, available to ETFdb Pro members, shows the ETF in the Large Cap Growth Equities with the highest Metric Realtime Rating for each individual field.
