Analyst Report

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.
