Industry outlook
The iShares Virtual work and life ETF is a multisector fund. The fund’s objective is to invest in industries with ties to the work-from-home sector. Its competitor Direxion Work from Home ETF, was also recently launched; however, the Direxion fund’s performance is better.
The IWFH also has a higher expense ratio of 0.47%. Furthermore, the fund’s annualized returns are running in the red, mainly due to the losses in the technology sector. However, analysts predict that the dip in the technology shares was due to the re-election of Jerome Powell as Fed chair and foresee stocks to increase during the holiday season.
