analysts highlight two exchange‑traded funds that already hold significant SaaS exposure: the iShares expanded tech‑software sector etf (igv) and the wisdomtree cloud computing fund (wcld). igv offers broader, lower‑cost exposure to established software firms, while wcld targets higher returns but carries greater risk and lower liquidity. investors are advised to watch revenue growth, margins and retention as ai could further drive SaaS growth or compress margins.
