BMO’s Top Technology ETFs

With the Federal Reserve Central Bank potentially getting closer to the end of their interest rate hiking cycle, investors may want to consider allocating towards U.S technology names.

BMO presents 3 ETFs to utilize to gain exposure to technology names:

ZWT – BMO Covered Call Technology ETF
