September has been a volatile month for Big Tech trades, but the AB US Low Volatility Equity ETF is still betting big. Top holdings include Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet.

Alliance Bernstein’s ETF includes consumer staples and financials as “bumpers” to mitigate risk. Other holdings like Procter & Gamble and Fiserv offer exposure to different sectors.

AB US Low Volatility ETF is up 16% so far this year. ETF Edge’s Noel Archard emphasizes the importance of less volatile stocks in a market prone to sudden shifts.

Invesco’s Low Volatility ETF holds traditionally stable stocks like Berkshire-Hathaway, Coca-Cola, and Visa. Archard points to a broader interest in investing in various industries, not just tech.

Tech is a major aspect of daily life, but other industries are also lucrative. AB US Low Volatility ETF’s success emphasizes the need for a diversified portfolio beyond tech giants like Microsoft and Apple.
