Reliance's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 43.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 776 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.98% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.21 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Reliance Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744740029_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Reliance has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Reliance's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Reliance's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.73%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

World Trade Organization Says Canada Initiates WTO Dispute Complaint Regarding U.S. Steel And Aluminium Duties; Canada Has Requested WTO Dispute Consultations With U.S. Regarding Import Duties On Certain Steel And Aluminum Products From Canada

When President Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel imports, it created a cloud of fear and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">uncertainty in the markets</a>. 
Stocks dropped as the 25% previously announced tariffs set to be implemented on Wednesday were anticipated to be doubled.
Trump later hinted at reconsideration after Ontario's premier suspended a surcharge on electricity exports. While domestic producers may benefit, higher costs could dent the profits of industries that rely heavily on these materials.

This has presented a good opportunity to look into exchange-traded funds, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs, that may gain or lose</a>:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>): The ETF gained 1.3% on Tuesday. Its U.S. exposure is at 53.78%, with Brazil and Australia following at 14.65% and 10.71%, respectively. SLX has the least exposure to Canada at less than 1%. The ETF carries an expense ratio of 56 basis points. Tariffs on materials imports from Canada bode well for domestic producers. SLX has exposure to United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYM#NYSE">IYM</a>): This fund appeals to investors seeking a conservative way to gain aluminum exposure. The ETF&#8217;s exposure is spread out to base metals stocks and other materials sectors like chemicals and forestry products. This makes it a less speculative investment. This reduces risks from an aluminum market downturn. The ETF holds stocks of aluminum leaders such as Alcoa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Reliance Steel &amp; Aluminum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>). Both stand to gain if the tariffs are implemented.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Invesco Building &amp; Construction ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKB#NYSE">PKB</a>): One of the outcomes of the 50% (or even 25%) tariffs on steel and aluminum imported from Canada is that it will drive up materials prices in the U.S. Higher steel prices may weigh on the construction sector. This fund could face profitability issues as steel is a key raw material in the industry it is exposed to.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Invesco Food &amp; Beverage ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBJ#NYSE">PBJ</a>): This fund could see headwinds as higher aluminum costs may pressure the food and beverage bottling industry as well. Companies like Diageo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>), Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), and PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) likely to face increased costs.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Steel Industry Backs The Move</h2>
Despite the market jitters, U.S. steel manufacturers are largely in favor of the tariffs. In a <a href="https://www.steel.org/2025/03/five-steel-groups-pledge-support-for-steel-tariffs-applaud-actions/">letter </a>to the president, five steel industry executives, represented by American Iron and Steel Institute, expressed their strong support for the 25% tariffs. Moreover,&nbsp;Jesse Gary, the CEO of&nbsp;Century Aluminum&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44269301/trumps-25-tariffs-on-steel-and-aluminum-imports-take-effect-eu-retaliates-us-steel-nucor-century-aluminum-and-other-domestic-stocks-cheer">told the New York Times</a>, &#8220;The new tariffs will close those loopholes back up and enable us to begin investing again, and bring on more production here in the U.S.&#8221;
While steel producers in the U.S. are supportive, the aluminum industry has shown a mixed reaction. Alcoa CEO William Oplinger <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/alcoa-s-ceo-says-trump-tariffs-could-wipe-out-100-000-u-s-jobs-11686292">voiced </a>concerns that tariffs could hurt the U.S. aluminum sector due to the company's strong ties to Canadian operations.
The impact of tariffs will likely trickle down to consumers as well. Domestic steel prices have already surged from around $700 to nearly $1,000 per ton since Trump's initial announcement in February. A Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-11/trump-s-metal-tariffs-set-to-hit-favorites-like-baseball-bats-and-fishing-reels">report </a> said that higher costs could affect a range of products, from aluminum baseball bats to stainless steel cookware and fishing reels.
Investors should keep an eye on ETFs exposed to these sectors, as they may see significant movement in the coming weeks. Whether Trump follows through with the full 50% tariff or retreats from the threat, the ripple effects will be felt across multiple industries and investment tools.

Steel & Aluminum Import Tariff Threat: 4 ETFs Gaining & Losing In The Market Shake-Up

The Trump administration enacted new steel and aluminum tariffs in mid-February, and businesses (and investors) could begin to feel the effects soon. The new tariff calls for a 25% tax on imported steel and aluminum products with no exemptions, which is another shot across the bow at Canada and Mexico, the #1 and #3 steel exporters to the US.
With the new tariffs, American-based steel and aluminum tariffs now have a competitive advantage over their competitors abroad.
Here are the five stocks that will benefit the most from this new dynamic.
Steel prices have been flat in the US since the announcement, and stable commodity prices could provide a headwind to domestic steel producers.
While tariff costs are eventually passed to consumers in one fashion or another, companies that manufacture steel and aluminum in the United States have a distinct advantage over their import-heavy counterparts. If importers face a 25% tariff, they'll be forced to raise prices to carry the added cost.
If a domestic steel manufacturer knows its competition will be forced to raise prices 25%, it won't sit idle &#8211; it'll also increase prices. And since the domestic producer isn't incurring any added costs, more revenue will be retained as profit, expanding margins and making the stock more attractive to investors.
Today, we'll look at five stocks with strong fundamentals that could gain from tariffs on imported steel. Each company possesses at least two of the following traits: sound valuation, above-average margins, and sufficient cash flow to manage increased capacity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reliance Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>)</h2>
Formerly known as Reliance Steel and Aluminum Co., the firm has been manufacturing and distributing important metals since 1939. According to its website, Reliance Inc. sells more than 100,000 products, ranging from stainless, carbon, and specialty steel to titanium, brass, and copper
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212335/Rel-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811283" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212335/Rel-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212335/Rel-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212335/Rel-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212335/Rel.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Reliance is well-positioned to increase production thanks to its hefty free cash pile, which sits at just under $1 billion as of this writing. Despite having a smaller market cap than competitors like Nucor and Steel Dynamics, Reliance has a better cash flow situation with a comparable profit margin (6.33%).
And while the stock might be pricier than its peers at 14 times forward earnings, the company does have the capacity to hire more workers and expand production, especially if demand for domestic steel surges. Benzinga Edge scores the stock similarly, giving it a 67.74 score for Value and 67.61 for Quality.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nucor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>)</h2>
Nucor is the largest domestic steel manufacturer in the United States, with a market cap of more than $29 billion and nearly 33,000 full-time employees. It manufactures and sells steel products through three divisions: Steel Mills, Steel Products, and Raw Materials. With its vast product range and expansive customer base across North America, Nucor is ready to take advantage of tariffed competitors. In fact, the company has already raised prices on hot-rolled coil steel six times since Inauguration Day for a cumulative bump of 28%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811284" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212347/NUC.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Nucor's stock may also be coiled for a move higher. After being cut nearly in half between April and December 2024, the stock bounced higher to start 2025, jumping from $112 to $142 before retreating back under $130 in the first week of March. This pullback could be an opportunity for investors; NUE shares score highly on Benzinga Edge's Value (77.56) and Quality (70.56) scores, and the stock trades at just 12 times forward earnings. The company is also sitting on an $800 million cash pile, which never hurts in the eyes of investors.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Olympic Steel Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZEUS#NYSE">ZEUS</a>)</h2>
Despite owning one of the best stock tickers on US exchanges, Olympic Steel is the smallest company listed here, with a market cap of just $348 million and less than $2 billion in annual revenue. The stock has also declined more than 50% since peaking at over $73 in April 2024. ZEUS needs a catalyst to wake up, and tariffs on imported steel might be just the thing to do it.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811286" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212354/OLY.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Olympic Steel rates highly in Benzinga Edge's Value score (88.07), but its Momentum score (14.43) is approaching the dumpster. Trends can change quickly, however, and ZEUS shares are close to falling into oversold territory on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Other appealing valuation metrics to consider: a price-to-earnings ratio of just 10.5, a price-to-sales rate of 0.18, and EPS growth of more than 42% over the last five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>)</h2>
US Steel Corp has made plenty of headlines lately for its off-again, on-again merger with Japan's Nippon Steel. But for now, the company remains its own entity, and shares have surged higher to start 2025 (although with some choppy waters along the way).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811287" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212405/UST.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
US Steel was once the industry&#8217;s beacon, with a history dating back more than 100 years. An NFL team was even named after it! However, the company has suffered through multi-year profit declines and faces fading relevance in the domestic steel industry. Is a turnaround possible? X shares get the best Benzinga Edge Growth score of our picks at 72.02, plus a 74.76 in Value. The stock is up 21% year-to-date and trades at just 11 times earnings. While the fundamentals haven't fully materialized yet, the technical trend is pointing upward.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>)</h2>
Steel Dynamics is another massive domestic manufacturer with a $19 billion market cap and 13,000 full-time employees. In 2024, the company earned $17.5 billion in revenue and trades at 16 times forward earnings.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="418" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-1024x418.png" alt="" class="wp-image-811288" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-1024x418.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-300x122.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE-768x313.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/05212413/STE.png 1309w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The stock might be expensive in terms of valuation compared to other companies on this list, but STLD has several advantages. Its 8.8% profit margin is the highest among domestic steel producers, and its return on equity (ROE) is 17%, a considerable figure for a steel manufacturer. In February, the company also announced favorable news for investors with a 9% cash dividend increase and a $1.5 billion share repurchase agreement. The stock also has the highest Benzinga Edge Momentum score amongst US steel companies at 61.56, with a 77.81 score for Value and 66.68 for Quality. Steel Dynamics is a well-rounded stock, although its lack of free cash flow could pose problems for future capacity constraints.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.

President Trump Says This Will Be Over And Above Steel Tariffs, Also Cars, Pharmaceuticals; Car Tariffs Coming Soon

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum Says "We Are Going To Send Message To White House On Steel, Aluminum Tariffs"

Shares of steel and aluminum stocks are trading higher after reports President Trump plans additional 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Hedge funds have always been closely watched for cues on investment opportunities. Although their strategies can be complex, understanding the trends they're bullish on can offer important insights for retail investors. 
Siddharth Singhai, CIO of value-based global hedge fund IronHold Capital, recently shared his perspective on sectors worth watching, and how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs can help investors</a> capitalize on these themes. 
From automobiles and homebuilding to mining and AI, here are some ETFs based on his insights:
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Automobile Industry On Third Gear</h1>
One area drawing attention is the U.S. auto industry. With protectionist policies likely to intensify under the Trump administration, automakers such as General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) stand to benefit significantly, according to Singhai. 
Possible tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles could set the playing field for these companies, making the U.S. auto sector one to keep a close eye on. 
&#8220;We do anticipate a clear protectionism policy in place for U.S. auto, specifically the big three: General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. Simply because if the tariffs were not put in place against Chinese EVs, U.S. automakers would be at about a 30% to 40% cost disadvantage, which would essentially mean the end of U.S. auto as we know it,&#8221; said Singhai.
However, as a word of caution, he said that one should be wary of auto companies that might face trouble in the face of EV revolution. 
&#8220;We believe U.S. autos and U.S. auto parts suppliers, who have been hit badly due to the excess inventories prevailing in the U.S. auto industry in general, could be a good hunting ground, potentially. Although investors should be focused on auto suppliers that are probably not going to get disrupted by the EV transition,&#8221; Singhai said.
For investors, ETFs like the First Trust S-Network Future Vehicles &amp; Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CARZ#NASDAQ">CARZ</a>) offer exposure to the expected surge in domestic automotive manufacturing. The ETF has an expense ratio of 0.7% and among its holdings are Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Home Building Industry In Focus</h1>
Homebuilders are another promising area, according to Singhai. Despite overvaluation concerns in the equity market, the housing sector continues to experience a significant supply-demand imbalance. Years of undersupply following the 2008 financial crisis created the opportunity for select homebuilding companies to thrive.
&#8220;U.S. market is extremely overvalued at the moment, and there are not that many sectors that could be happy hunting grounds for hedge funds or value investors like us. In general, homebuilders, some of them, seem to be still attractively positioned given the great imbalance between supply and demand, mainly because of years of undersupply post-Great Recession in 2008-&#8217;09. So we believe homebuilders, some of them, present very compelling opportunities,&#8221; Singhai noted.
Investors interested in this space might consider ETFs such as the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>), which focuses on leading players in the sector, such as Builders Firstsource, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLDR#NYSE">BLDR</a>) and Lowes Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>). The expense ratio that this ETF carries is 0.39%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Mining — Hidden Gems To Look For</h1>
Mining is another area that stands out. Many companies in this space, especially low-cost producers, are undervalued and largely overlooked by the market. These firms could see strong performance with a rebound in global demand for raw materials.
&#8220;Mining companies also seem to be hit badly and ignored by investors. You could find some really good mining companies that are the lowest cost producers in their respective industries that could prove to be high performers over the next two to three years,&#8221; Singhai noted from his expertise.
ETFs such as the SPDR S&amp;P Metals and Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>) invest in a range of mining companies and could be a good fit for investors looking to capture growth in this area. The ETF carries an expense ratio of 0.35% and holdings in Hecla Mining Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HL#NYSE">HL</a>) and Reliance Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>), among others.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AI Trends To Watch</h1>
Singhai also touched upon the continued interest in semiconductors and AI. While these industries are undeniably buzzing, he warns against impulsive investing. Many companies in this space are trading at lofty valuations that may not be sustainable. 
&#8220;I do foresee a lot of hedge funds diving right into semiconductors and AI stocks. I also believe more retail investors will seriously consider allocating capital to this particular sector moving forward as well. However, it is ripe with extreme bubble-like valuations. The marquee names in the AI industry are trading for as high as 20 to 50 times revenue, which to us seems excessive even given the promise of AI,&#8221; he said.
Singhai also added, &#8220;Not all AI companies can capture 50% of the market or even 30% of the market, and if they fail to do so, they cannot foreseeably justify their current valuations. This leads us to the ultimate conclusion that there will be a few big winners and many, many losers within the industry. As such, most AI companies do not deserve their expensive, hefty valuations.&#8221;
For those interested in exploring the AI-driven growth story, a diversified ETF like the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) offers exposure to leading players like NVDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) while mitigating the risks of betting on individual stocks. And the cost of investing in this ETF is also reasonable at 0.35%.
All that said, Singhai emphasized the route of ETFs should be seen as tools for diversification and steady returns — not as a shortcut to mimicking hedge fund performance. It will be wise for retail investors to focus on sectors with solid fundamentals rather than on speculative trends.
