  • Earlier I spoke to Fidelity's Matt Goulet on trends and ETFs.

  • Technology is a huge part of the market today.

  • I look back and technology was only 12 or 13 percent of the market back in 2002.

  • Today it's about 25 percent.

  • That's a 10-year high.

  • So technology has been really driving the whole market up.

  • It's the leading sector year to date.

  • Not a lot of losses there, but what we see going on is, in that space, we believe in active management,

  • we have people who use the mutual funds and they had a great year of performance picking stocks.

  • But we also see investors who want the ETF again for the tax efficiency.

  • And when they use the ETFs for technology exposure, they can get a broad sector exposure for eight basis points.

  • So Fidelity offers a technology ETF ticker FTC that has eight basis expense ratio and trades commission free.

  • But we also see people using more industry level exposures.

  • I mentioned this before, but cybersecurity, some of these more granular and niche markets
