Our read on IYC
CMost consumer discretionary ETFs follow the GICS rulebook. IYC follows Russell's, which counts media, streaming and big-box retail as discretionary spending. Same theme, wider cart.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. equities in the consumer discretionary sector, providing diversified exposure to retail, media, and consumer services companies in the United States.
Why people hold it
- Russell's sector map instead of GICS: the roster reaches into media and entertainment plus big-box and grocery retail, aisles that XLY, VCR and FDIS file elsewhere.blackrock.com
- About 160 Russell 1000 names across retail, restaurants, autos, travel and media, spreading the theme across the whole spending economy.blackrock.com
- Listed in 2000 and now a billion-dollar-plus fund, it has traded through every consumer cycle this century and sits in the upper half of its 17-fund peer group.
Worth knowing
- The 0.38% fee runs above the 0.35% cohort median and several times the 0.08%-0.09% charged by XLY, FDIS and VCR.
- Cap-weighted with daily caps applied: the largest one or two holdings still carry a big slice, so the fund tends to move with them.blackrock.com
- Moderately traded rather than a category volume leader, so bid-ask spreads can matter more on large or hurried orders.
