TECH questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF?
Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF holds 40 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 36.4% of the fund, close to the 35.9% typical of Global ex-Australia equity funds. That makes it moderately diversified.
Its largest country exposure is United States at 77.8%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does TECH double up with most?
TECH shares the most holdings with VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT) (25% overlap), VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat (AUD Hedged) ETF (MHOT) (25% overlap) and Global X US 100 ETF (U100) (20% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
None of these overlaps is above half, so pairing TECH with one of them adds some genuinely different holdings.
How is Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF managed – active or passive?
Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for TECH?
TECH charges a management fee of 0.45% a year, about $45 for every $10,000 invested. Only 46% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG) at 0.35%, FANG+ (Currency Hedged) ETF (FHNG) at 0.38% and Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF (VTEK) at 0.23%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.28% for TECH.
Does Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF focuses on technology. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a technology focus include Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ), Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG), Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASIA) and Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF (HNDQ).
What is under the hood of TECH?
As at 2 Sept 2026, TECH's ten largest holdings are Guidewire Softwa (4.5%), Arista Networks (4.0%), Microsoft Corp (3.9%), Sony Group Corp (3.7%), Nvidia Corp (3.6%), Amphenol Corp-A (3.6%), Cgi Inc (3.4%), Entegris Inc (3.3%), Taiyo Yuden Co (3.2%) and Broadcom Inc (3.1%). Together they make up 36.4% of the fund.
It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings. Its top 10 weighting of 36.4% compares with 35.9% for Global ex-Australia equity funds.
How well has Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF performed?
Based on its category, Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 15.8% over 1 year (median 6.3%; ranked 20 of 121), 19.2% a year over 3 years (median 16.5% a year; ranked 23 of 82) and 9.7% a year over 5 years (median 9.2% a year; ranked 29 of 66). The medians and rankings compare it with Global ex-Australia equity funds. Since listing in 2017 it has returned 17.5% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for TECH; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.45% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
