Analysis suggests that the key to SOXX outperforming SMH lies in the distribution of holdings within the two funds. SOXX has relatively balanced holdings, with its largest holding not exceeding 9%, such as Advanced Micro Devices at approximately 8.05%. In contrast, SMH's holdings are highly concentrated, with NVIDIA accounting for approximately 21.94% and TSMC accounting for approximately 9.59%. The top two holdings combined exceed 30%, which, while offering potential high returns, also carries higher risks. If growth in the chip industry spreads to more companies beyond NVIDIA, SOXX's diversified holdings will position it to benefit more effectively.
