SOCL is the first ETF on the market that focuses on social media companies. This vanilla fund caps the weights of pure-play social media companies at 10% and the weights of non-pure play companies at 4.75%. Notably, SOCL underweights US companies relative to its global technology peers, as it excludes several US tech giants. Instead, the fund has significant exposure on other countries such as China. SOCL also favors software firms and excludes semiconductors and computer companies. Overall, the fund's performance history unsurprisingly deviates significantly from that of the broad technology sector. The funds index is reviewed semi-annually.
