Strong Historical Performance and Future Growth Potential
The strong historical performance of the Amundi MSCI Semiconductors UCITS ETF is evident, with about +237.15% total returns over the past five years (equivalent to 27.52% per annum). This high-growth sector and effective management have contributed to the ETF's success.
The semiconductor industry is at the heart of technological innovation, including AI, cloud computing, and automotive electrification. These factors, combined with increasing demand for AI applications, digitization in industry, and the development of technologies in areas such as autonomous driving and cloud computing, are driving the growth of the global semiconductor market.
ESG Screening and Broad Positioning
The ESG Screened ETF integrates environmental and social responsibility criteria, which attract investors increasingly focused on sustainable investing, potentially increasing inflows relative to non-ESG funds. The ETF's broad positioning and focus on leading companies in the industry that play a key technological role could contribute to its continued performance.
Fund Attributes
The ETF offers full replication of the MSCI ACWI Semiconductor index, reasonable ongoing charges of about 0.35%, and a sizable fund volume (~590 million EUR) which supports liquidity and stability.
Recent Performance and Market Trends
Despite some short-term volatility, the ETF showed strong recent quarterly and annual returns (16.17% last 3 months, +17% last year), indicating resiliency and positive momentum.
Although precise future performance cannot be guaranteed, these factors collectively suggest that the Amundi MSCI Semiconductors ESG Screened UCITS ETF is well-positioned for continued growth over the next year, especially given global semiconductor demand and rising investor interest in ESG-compliant funds.
The Amundi MSCI Semiconductors ESG Screened UCITS ETF's top holdings include industry giants such as Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom, and ASML. The ETF is ranked by the financial portal "ETF Capital" based on its performance, and the total expense ratio (TER) for the ETF is 0.35 percent per year.
While long-term investors often prefer very diversified ETFs on world indices such as the MSCI World, the Amundi MSCI Semiconductors ESG Screened UCITS ETF could provide outstanding performance for investors in the coming years due to the long-term growth of the semiconductor sector and its focus on leading companies. However, investors should carefully consider their choices from the vast universe of ETFs to select the right one.
