Our read on XLI
AOne of the original 1998 sector SPDRs: the S&P 500's industrial engine (defense primes, machinery, railroads, freight) in about 80 large-cap names for 0.08% a year.
The fund seeks to track, before expenses, the price and yield performance of the Industrial Select Sector Index.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.08% a year against a peer-group median of 0.38%, putting it at the bottom of the fee table with FIDU and a hair under VIS.
- Launched in December 1998 as one of the first US sector funds. Decades of live history, a multi-billion-dollar asset base, and very heavy daily trading.
- Plain index fund, no factor tilts or screens: it owns the industrial sector of the S&P 500 as defined, and has tracked that index closely.ssga.com
- Rates in the top quartile of the broad industrials funds we cover, one of the stronger implementations in the group.
Worth knowing
- S&P 500 only, so mid and small caps are out. VIS and FIDU reach further down the cap ladder; PSCI covers small-cap industrials exclusively.ssga.com
- About 80 stocks weighted by market value, so the aerospace, defense and machinery giants at the top drive most of the move. RSPN spreads it evenly for 0.40%.
- One sector, one economy: industrials swing with the business cycle, and this is a concentrated slice rather than a diversified core holding. Pays quarterly.
