When you want to dissect an ETF’s performance it is useful to check out this table. SCHD’s stellar performance in 2026 is an example of a quick rotation out of Mag 7, AI, SaaS (Software as a service) into more industrial, blue chip names. You can discern what holdings are responsible for that move in the SCHD column. Some ETF’s contain many foreign holding that do not trade on a US exchange and do not use a standardized symbol format so they are not able to be processed. Hence an ETF like URA only displays 40% of it holdings because the other 60% are foreign holdings. REMX has very little US holdings. BUZZ<\/a> is a social media ETF. Allocations are based on social media “buzz”. Allocations are capped at 3%. I use it to monitor what stocks are getting\/not getting major social media interest, and how that may correlate to any particular ETF’s. If a stock is more than 3% that means it has exceeded its allocation during the month. The ETF is rebalanced on the 3rd Thursday of each month. The matrix will update monthly and I plan to publish a monthly archive for reference in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For portfolio architecture the matrix visually represents the 4 large cap ETF’s concentrating in the top left with un-correlated ETF’s farther down and to the right. The most uncorrelated stocks are in ETF’s concentrated in metals, defense\/military, robotics, space. The two ARK ETF’s offer lower exposure to Mag7 & SaaS, some nuclear, no uranium or metal exposure. Luckily for us non-correlated exposure (in promising sectors) is not difficult in this investing environment. At some time in the future it will be more difficult and require a new thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
