The S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.23%) has plunged by as much as 20% since hitting a record high just two months ago. President Donald Trump enacted sweeping tariffs on all of America's trading partners last week, and many countries responded with plans for retaliatory tariffs of their own, which is stoking fears of a global trade war.

IETC Expected To Benefit From Trade Policies, But Wait For A Better Entry Point
I initiate coverage of iShares U.S. Tech Independence Focused ETF with a hold rating due to expected further downside and recession risks. IETC's strategy of investing in U.S.-focused tech companies is promising, but waiting for a market bottom-out is advisable to avoid potential losses. Despite the recent selloff, valuations remain above long-term averages, and technical indicators suggest limited recovery potential with high downside momentum.

IETC: Strong Performance, Growth Potential Amidst AI Evolution
IETC has delivered a strong total return of 287% since its inception in 2018, outperforming major technology funds like QQQ and XLK. The fund's high exposure to software and semiconductor stocks positions it well for continued growth driven by AI advancements. Despite its strong performance, IETC's valuation is not cheap, and investors should consider waiting for a better entry point.

IETC: Achieving US Tech Independence Is Unrealistic And Even Sub-Optimal
iShares U.S. Tech Independence Focused ETF (IETC) is a hold due to its focus on U.S. tech independence, which may result in a lack of diversified supply chains and sub-optimal performance. IETC is an actively-managed fund but has a lower expense ratio than most active funds and even some passively managed information technology ETFs. IETC has lower weight on companies with significant international revenue, such as Apple, which may limit its potential for growth.
