The "Neil" ETF has shown a mixed performance since June 13, 2025, with a portfolio spanning technology, payments, healthcare, and semiconductors. From June 13, 2025, to July 20, 2025, the ETF's trajectory reflects the volatility of its key holdings.

Strengths shine through in semiconductors and healthcare. AMD and ASML are riding high, fueled by the AI boom and strong demand for advanced chips. AMD’s Data Center segment continues to outperform, with robust GPU and CPU sales, while ASML’s monopoly on extreme ultraviolet lithography systems positions it as a linchpin for cutting-edge chip production. UNH and NVO also stand out, with UnitedHealth benefiting from steady healthcare demand and Novo Nordisk capitalizing on its weight-loss drug portfolio, despite pricing scrutiny risks.

Weaknesses cloud the payments and Chinese tech sectors. FOUR and DLO face headwinds from macroeconomic pressures, with Shift4 Payments struggling against rising competition in payment processing and DLocal grappling with emerging market volatility. PYPL lags, hampered by sluggish user growth and margin compression in a crowded fintech space. BABA’s performance is muted, weighed down by China’s regulatory overhang and geopolitical tensions impacting U.S.-listed Chinese stocks. INTC, while buoyed by takeover speculation, faces challenges from delayed innovation and fierce competition from AMD and NVIDIA. GOOGL holds steady but lacks the explosive upside of pure AI plays, constrained by regulatory scrutiny.

Looking to June 13, 2026, the ETF’s prospects hinge on AI and healthcare tailwinds driving AMD, ASML, UNH, and NVO, but payment and Chinese tech holdings like FOUR, DLO, and BABA may drag performance. INTC’s recovery is uncertain, and PYPL needs a turnaround to shine. The ETF’s tech-heavy tilt offers growth potential but carries volatility risks from geopolitical and competitive pressures. Diversification across sectors mitigates some risks, yet exposure to underperformers like BABA and PYPL could cap gains.
