Our read on IYJ
CA 2000-vintage industrials fund that casts a wide net: about 210 construction, manufacturing and transportation names pulled from a capped Russell 1000 index. Breadth is the pitch, 0.38% a year is the price of it.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. industrial-sector equities, providing diversified access to companies involved in construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
Why people hold it
- About 210 holdings across construction, manufacturing and transportation, so no single machinery or aerospace giant runs the show.
- Its benchmark is a daily capped index, meaning there is a built-in brake on how large any one name can grow inside the fund.
- Running since 2000 under the iShares banner, with a billion-dollar-plus asset base and steady day-to-day trading. It also pays out quarterly.
Worth knowing
- At 0.38%, it costs several times what XLI (0.08%) or VIS (0.09%) charge for industrials exposure. The wider roster has to earn that gap.
- Moderately traded rather than the volume leader of the group, so spreads deserve a look on larger orders.
- One US sector and nothing else. Industrials move with the capital-spending cycle, so this is a slice of a portfolio rather than the whole plate.
