The Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is up a strong 26.4% year to date through yesterday's close (May 2). The fund's return is comfortably above the second-best year-to-date performance via the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI), which has increased 21.0%.
For context, the broad stock market is up 17.0% so far
