$2.5 Million ETF Challenges SaaSpocalypse Fears for Software Stocks

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 11

Summary

  • $2.5 million in assets, a little-known ETF is signaling that the software sector may be holding up better than the earlier “SaaSpocalypse” selloff implied.
  • AI fears had hammered software shares on expectations companies would need fewer workers, sell fewer licenses and face pressure on their business models.
  • That shift in tone suggests investors are no longer treating software’s decline as a foregone conclusion, even if the signal is coming from a tiny, niche fund.
  • The fund’s move offers a narrow but notable counterpoint to the broader narrative that AI will structurally undermine software companies.
