Our read on XHB
In short
CThe original housing ETF, trading since 2006, and it never stayed in its lane: builders sit alongside building products, furnishings, appliances and home improvement retail, weighted so the small names count too.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track the total return of the S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index, an index derived from the homebuilding segment of a U.S. total-market composite index.
