XT: More Sensitive Than General Market To Cost Of Capital Changes

The iShares Future Exponential Technologies ETF is highly sensitive to cost of capital shifts, driven by its tech and disruptor focus, also with a lot of high-multiple healthcare. XT's global diversification does not mitigate its vulnerability to rising rates and geopolitical risks, especially from the Iran conflict, which is having a global upward cost of capital shift effect. XT is less concentrated in mega-cap US tech than IVV, but its higher IT and healthcare exposure increases sensitivity to inflation and capital costs and maintains sensitivity to overbuild risks.
