What is a thematic ETF?
A thematic or sector ETF concentrates its holdings on a single theme or industry, such as technology, healthcare, cybersecurity or resources, rather than the whole market. That focus means it can behave very differently from a broad-market fund. General information only, not financial advice.
Do thematic and sector ETFs overlap with each other?
Many thematic and sector ETFs hold similar underlying assets, so two funds in this category can duplicate a large share of each other's holdings. Holding both can mean paying two sets of fees for similar exposure. You can measure the overlap between any two funds with the free ETF Overlap Checker.
