Our read on JXI

ETF.net Research

In short

BAlmost every utilities ETF stops at the US border. JXI doesn't: it holds the utilities slice of the S&P Global 1200, so overseas power, gas and water operators sit alongside the American names. Running since 2006.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track an index representing global equities in the utilities sector.

Why people hold it

  • The passport is the point: its index is the utilities cut of the S&P Global 1200, large-cap power, gas and water worldwide. Cohort rivals XLU, VPU and FUTY stay inside the US.sec.gov
  • Capped by design. Issuers above 5% of the index are held to 25% in aggregate, so two or three giants can't swallow a roughly 60-stock portfolio.sec.gov
  • No mystery in the mandate: a plain global utilities benchmark since 2006, with the index and its capping rules spelled out in iShares' filings.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  • You pay for the border crossing. The 0.37% fee sits at the category median, but US-only peers XLU and FUTY charge 0.08% and VPU 0.09%.
  • Thinly traded next to the big US utility funds, so the bid-ask spread and your order type do more of the work.
  • Cash comes in lumps: distributions are paid on an annual or semiannual schedule rather than quarterly.
