FOUR-T vs. TEC-T. He does not thing the level of assets is particularly challenging because of the implicit liquidity and the size of the markets for these. This is a significantly different approach. The tech world will favour the mega-caps. So TEC-T will probably outperform in the short term. FOUR-T is about the modernization of work. This is advanced robotics, cyber security, 3D printing and the cloud. He thinks in the longer term there should be some excess return that accrues to the things a little bit more targeted, but they will be very similar.
It's similar to the Nasdaq. Peers are HXQ-T (lower MER) or (in the U.S.) XLK or QQQ. TEC holds FAANG plus MSFT, Mastercard and Visa, companies trading at price-to-sales between 7-18x. So, TEC relies on a lot of growth to pay you future returns. Think like Gretzky: Where's the puck going to be? What will be future performance of these holdings?

TEC is similar to the NASDAQ as a whole. Market-weighted exposure to some of the biggest technology names like the Magnificent 7. His view on the Big 7 is still positive, still upside in all of them. As long as nothing changes on the underlying thesis, he'd still focus on some of those large-cap tech names. This fund lets you do that.
XQQ is another name to look at.
It has drawn down 10 to 12% so this may be an opportunity. It's better to buy smaller bites and not attempt to just buy at the bottom. This is a good strategy for the long term.
