Warren Buffett has long touted the virtues of investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

But there are sector-specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that offer exposure to specific sectors.

Within the technology sector, one subsector has outperformed all others.

Semiconductors has compounded at a stunning 20% annualized rate over the past decade .

iShares Trust - iShares Semiconductor ETF will continue to outperform over the long term.

The beauty of owning an ETF is that it will capture the winners and lower its allocation to the losers over time.

As semiconductor-led innovation also creates entirely new markets (like AI ), the semiconductor sector should continue to outgrow GDP.
