The tech sector has obviously been a dominant position in the equity market in the last few months. However, considering how crucial technology has been to portfolio growth as of late, some are likely wondering whether the sector still has room to grow or if it is close to reaching its peak.
Key Takeaways:
- State Street Global Advisors debuted its June Monthly Flash Flows report, which showed the tech sector received over $13 billion in inflows last month.
- These inflows showcase strong enthusiasm for the sector, despite tech actually underperforming as a whole in June.
- The State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK ) offers low-cost exposure to the tech sector within the S&P 500, which could provide a strong long-term opportunity.
Fortunately, the best may very well be yet to come for the tech sector. Recently, State Street Global Advisors released its Monthly Flash Flows report. This report included critical information about how the broader investment community is looking at the tech sector right now.

The State Street report noted that a significant amount of inflows went into the sector last month. To get specific, the tech sector alone saw over $13 billion in inflows in June.
Interestingly enough, State Street pointed out that the tech sector didn’t even have a particularly good month in June. Per Bloomberg, tech was down 3.3% for the month.
Putting this together, technology seeing dynamic inflows while not even performing particularly well highlights how confident investors are in long-term opportunities within the sector. After all, there are plenty of favorable tailwinds still working in tech’s favor, such as the AI buildout.

Time to Tilt into Tech?
Looking ahead, this could mean that sticking with a tech sector tilt could pay off down the line. To make this easier, the ETF wrapper can help advisors and investors engage with multiple stocks at once—oftentimes with a low basis point cost.
This includes the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK ). With an expense ratio of only eight basis points, XLK provides focused exposure towards the tech sector of the S&P 500.

It should go without saying at this point that many of the tech companies in the S&P 500 are the cornerstone of many long-term growth approaches. This includes companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Broadcom, all of which are top holdings within the fund’s portfolio.
Crucially, XLK has also offered extremely compelling near-term results this year. Quarter to date, the fund’s NAV is up 43.66%, as of May 31, 2026. This impressive report card further helps justify tilting into the sector for the second half of 2026.
