My decision to shift some capital into the Corgi Lithography & Semiconductor Photonics ETF is paying off, with the position now showing a +16.29% return.
While individual stock picking in the semiconductor space can provide high alpha, it also introduces significant volatility. By holding ETFs, a diversified exposure to the critical lithography and photonics supply chain that underpins the entire AI infrastructure super-cycle can be achieved. It acts as an excellent stabilizer for my portfolio, allowing me to capture industry-wide growth without the concentration risk associated with holding only a few select manufacturers.
Seeing this position move from a minor initial drawdown to a double-digit gain confirms that the broader trend in semiconductor manufacturing equipment remains firmly intact.
