For many investors, tech ETFs appeal but are often limited by sector rules. Many such ETFs offer exposure to the big names in the AI revolution, for example, but not all. That’s because index classifications may omit a Meta (META) or a Google (GOOGL) from “technology” in favor of a different sector like communications. Those limits can, well, limit tech ETF performance. The active tech ETF TTEQ takes its active approach and uses it to invest without those limits, and has outperformed because of it.Key Takeaways: Active ETFs have become a huge part of a growing ETF landscape. Active investing helps funds break out of sector boxes and find the best opportunities without index limitations. TTEQ, the active tech ETF, has outperformed its benchmark and broader markets with its realistic sector approach. The T. Rowe Price Technology ETF (TTEQ ) launched in 2024. Since then, it has produced strong returns for its 63 basis point fee. The fund has the freedom to invest in tech companies across that world ranging from newer innovators to well-established tech leaders. Managed by Dom Rizzo, the fund uses T. Rowe Price’s fundamental research capabilities to assess each company. The companies are measured by their stock valuations, business prospects, and share price appreciation potential, to name a few variables. Its active flexibility gives TTEQ the freedom to invest in small firms, too, that are innovating and breaking the mold in their categories.  The active tech ETF has returned 23.6% YTD with that approach, according to ETF Database data. That has significantly outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index, which has returned 9.3% in that time. What’s more, the fund has seen a big performance spike in just the last month. TTEQ has returned 30.25% in that time according to ETF Database data, and even more over the last 12 months, at 63% in that time.

Rather than try to use multiple ETFs to craft an overall exposure suite for comprehensive tech exposure, TTEQ can capture the segment on a global scale. For those looking for strategies to add a boost to their portfolios, TTEQ can appeal.  For more news, information, and analysis, visit our Active ETF Content Hub.
