Apple Stock Is Already A Portfolio Staple — And This ETF Is Turning It Into A Casino Chip
Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) dominance in global markets has given rise to a rather peculiar investment enigma: millions of investors are already heavily invested in the iPhone maker, yet a round of ETFs is attempting to sell them even more Apple stock, albeit in the form of income-generating vehicles. Consider broad market funds such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) or technology-centric investments such as the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE: VGT). Apple is not merely a prominent holding in these funds; in many instances, it is the single largest holding, accounting for between 6% and 16% of the fund portfolios. Even diversified funds, such as the Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSE: VUG), have double-digit exposure to Apple.
