In plain words

A technology ETF owns companies that make software, chips, hardware and online services. It tracks the Technology sector, one of the 11 standard sectors.

ETFIQ places 25 funds in the sector, with a median fee of 0.49%. A few very large firms often make up a big share of a sector fund, so it moves with them. A tech-labelled fund with a narrower idea, such as chips or cloud software, goes to Themes. ETFIQ places each fund by company codes in its filings.

Questions

Is a technology ETF the same as a Nasdaq ETF?

No. The Nasdaq-100 includes firms outside the Technology sector and leaves out many tech firms listed elsewhere.

Does a tech fund own the same names as the S&P 500?

Often yes for the largest names. The overlap tool shows the share.

How is a fund placed in the sector?

By what it owns, from SEC company codes, not by its name.
