Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on SOXX alone. It places SOXX (iShares Semiconductor ETF) against 11 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where SOXX stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: SOXX's full trading record, from July 2001 through September 2026. The crash tests reach back to 2000 using older funds and the S&P 500. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **What you're buying:** SOXX charges 0.33% a year; SOXQ (Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF) tracks the same thing for 0.19%. A correlation of 0.98 with SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF) over 5 years: effectively the same bet as the larger fund.
- **Right now:** SOXX is 23.6% below its high, bear-market territory, while the S&P 500 sits 1.3% below a record. That said, it has outpaced the market, rising 19.9% over the past 6 months against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100.
- **Fund or market?:** SOXX fell 4.5% over the past 3 months, 2.3 points behind the semiconductors ETF SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF), which fell 2.2%. The S&P 500 rose 3.9%.
- **Long term:** SOXX turned $10,000 into $149,000 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. Over the past decade, SOXX returned 1,392%, among the best of the ETFs with at least $100 million in assets. The S&P 500 returned 321%.
- **In a crash:** Across six sell-offs, SOXX has typically fallen 1.3 times as far as the S&P 500. In the 2022 bear market, SOXX fell 44.6%, against 24.5% for the S&P 500, and more than similar funds such as PSI (Invesco Semiconductors ETF, 43.4%).
- **Diversification:** Over 10 years, SOXX's beta versus the S&P 500 was 1.50: in the S&P 500's rising months it gained 1.6 times as much as the index, and in falling months it lost 1.1 times as much. On the flip side, SOXX and SOXQ (Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF) have moved almost in lockstep (1.00). Adding one next to the other adds little.
- **Better options**
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise, computer hardware) earned more than SOXX over the past 5 years with similar volatility: 32.9% a year at 42.2% volatility, against 27.5% a year at 38.9%.
  - **Whole market:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only 48 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than SOXX with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them LLY (Eli Lilly and Company), CAT (Caterpillar) and HSBC.

## How much would $10,000 in SOXX have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in SOXX over the past 22 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of SOXX over the same span and SOXX's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in SOXX at the end of September 2004 would have grown to $434,743 by September 2026, more than the $102,174 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of SOXX, and STX finished highest, at $1,410,232.

## Common questions

### What was SOXX's worst drawdown?

SOXX's deepest decline since it began trading in 2001 was 70.2%, from August 2001 to November 2008. It took about five years from the low to climb back to its old high.

### What were SOXX's best and worst years?

Over 24 full calendar years, SOXX's best year was 2003, when it returned 81.0%. Its worst was 2008, with a return of -51.7%.

### Is there a better investment than SOXX?

Among SOXX's popular alternatives, SMH earned more than SOXX with less volatility over the past 5 years: 33.4% a year at 36.9% volatility, against 27.5% a year at 38.9%. Looking beyond its popular alternatives, HPE (computer hardware) earned more than SOXX over the past 5 years with similar volatility: 32.9% a year at 42.2% volatility, against 27.5% a year at 38.9%.

### Is SOXX more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. SOXX's volatility over the past 5 years was 38.9%, 2.3 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, SOXX's return lands within 38.9% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is SOXX's Sharpe ratio?

SOXX's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.82, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so SOXX earned more for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is SOXX with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, SOXX's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.74 with the S&P 500. Correlation runs from 1 (moving in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to −1 (moving in opposite directions). They often move together: some diversification next to an index fund, but not a cushion. In the table, the correlation column measures each option against SOXX instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a SOXX holding.

### What diversifies SOXX?

These had a low correlation with SOXX over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, LVHI (correlation 0.25), DXJ (correlation 0.43) and EMLP (correlation 0.24); among large stocks, CAH (correlation 0.13), MCK (correlation -0.11) and MPC (correlation 0.06).
