There’s also some question about how well HOLDRs accurately represent their sectors. For example, can a HOLDR with 12 stocks accurately reflect a diverse and frequently changing sector?
Ultimately, it’s up to the investor to decide of HOLDRs are right for them and their portfolios.
Some of the HOLDRs available are:
- Semiconductors HOLDRs (SMH), up 0.7% year-to-date
- Biotech HOLDRs (BBH), up 2.6% year-to-date
- Internet HOLDRs (HHH), down 1.8% year-to-date
