Our read on IYG
CFinancials without the insurers or the landlords. Since 2000, IYG has narrowed the sector to its money-moving core: banks, brokers, asset managers, credit card companies and exchanges.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. equities in the financial services sector, providing diversified access to investment banks, asset managers, and exchanges.
Why people hold it
- Focused by design: a subset of the broad US financials index, covering banks, asset managers, consumer finance, specialty finance, investment services and mortgage finance.sec.gov
- At 0.38% a year, it costs less than the typical fund in its US financials peer group.
- Trading since June 2000, one of the first wave of US sector ETFs, and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund that pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Whole-sector options cost less: XLF at 0.08% and VFH at 0.09% cover financials more broadly.
- About 100 names, market-cap weighted, and the prospectus labels the fund non-diversified, so the largest holdings drive the ride.sec.gov
- One sector, one country. iShares notes that funds concentrated in a single industry can be more volatile than the broad market.ishares.com
