- Invesco Next Gen Connectivity ETF (KNCT) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the STOXX World AC NexGen Connectivity Index by normally investing at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks comprising the index; these stocks represent companies with significant exposure to technologies or products contributing to future connectivity, such as semiconductors, communications equipment, software, diversified telecommunication services, IT services, and wireless services, through direct revenue generation. Top holdings include Apple Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Broadcom Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., AT&T Inc., International Business Machines Corp., Verizon Communications Inc., QUALCOMM Inc., and Micron Technology Inc., with sector allocations led by semiconductors and semiconductor equipment (approximately 28%), technology hardware (14%), and software (12%). The fund, with a total expense ratio of 0.40%, rebalances quarterly after the close of trading on the second Friday of March, June, September, and December, and trades on the NYSE Arca exchange under the ticker KNCT (CUSIP 46137V688).
Originally launched on June 23, 2005, as the Invesco Dynamic Networking ETF based on the Dynamic Networking Intellidex Index, the fund underwent a significant strategic shift on August 25, 2023, when it transitioned to its current name and benchmark, the STOXX World AC NexGen Connectivity Index, to better align with evolving global connectivity themes; this change blended prior index performance for historical comparisons but marked a reorganization to emphasize worldwide nexgen technologies. The ETF maintains a non-diversified portfolio of approximately 98-100 holdings, with primary geographic exposure to the United States (70%), Taiwan (9%), South Korea (5%), and Japan (4%), alongside smaller allocations to Ireland, China, Germany, India, Switzerland, and Sweden.
Invesco Next Gen Connectivity ETF operates within the technology and communications sectors, targeting investors seeking exposure to high-growth connectivity innovations including 5G infrastructure, cloud communications, networking hardware, and related IT services; it serves retail and institutional investors globally through brokerage platforms. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, as part of Invesco Ltd., the fund has delivered NAV returns of 21.84% YTD and 26.23% over one year as of September 30, 2025, with a 30-day SEC yield of 0.96% and assets under management reflecting a weighted market cap of approximately $526 billion across holdings. Recent distributions include quarterly dividends such as $0.35541 per share in September 2025 and $0.35771 in June 2025, supporting income-focused strategies amid sector volatility.
