Our read on PSCU
CMost utilities ETFs are a parking lot for mega-cap power giants. PSCU goes small instead: an index of roughly 40 small-cap US utility and communication-services companies, at a below-median fee.
The fund tracks an index measuring the performance of securities from US utility companies and communication-services companies.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.29% a year, under the 0.37% median for broad utilities funds.
- Rare mandate: small-cap US utilities plus communication services in one index, a corner the big sector funds barely reach.
- Live since 2010 as a plain 1940 Act index fund. No leverage, no derivatives overlay, no swaps.
- Pays distributions quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded with a small asset base. Spreads and order size can cost more than the expense ratio.
- Two sectors, small caps only, about 40 names. It can move very differently from mega-cap utility funds like XLU or VPU.
- The cheapest broad utilities funds sit near 0.08%, so the small-cap tilt is what you are paying the extra for.
