Just keep in mind that a narrow ETF like the Invesco Semiconductors ETF does carry more risk than, say, an S&P 500 ETF or similar broad market fund. While this ETF does contain 30 stocks, which adds some diversification, it's still highly targeted to one niche subsector of the market.
Higher-risk investments can sometimes lead to lucrative earnings over time, but it's crucial to take steps to protect your portfolio. Double-check that the rest of your investments are well diversified, and be prepared to keep a long-term outlook despite short-term volatility.
