EXICiShares Global Industrials ETF

RSPNCInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Industrials ETF

In short

EXI Most industrials ETFs stop at the US border. EXI has tracked a global industrials index since 2006, spreading roughly 220 machinery, aerospace and transport names across developed markets.

RSPN Industrials with the pecking order erased. RSPN gives every industrials stock in the S&P 500 the same weight and resets quarterly, so a mid-tier machinery maker counts as much as the sector's biggest names.

Stated mandate

EXI The fund seeks to track an index representing global equities in the industrials sector.

RSPN The fund tracks an index that equally weights stocks in the industrials sector of the S&P 500® Index and rebalances quarterly.

Why people hold it

  • EXI Global by design: the S&P Global 1200 Industrials Capped Index reaches past US factories into Europe and Asia in a single ticket.ishares.com
  • It follows the capped version of the index, so no single conglomerate can dominate a basket of about 220 companies.ishares.com
  • Live since 2006, through the financial crisis, trade fights and supply-chain chaos, and now a multi-billion-dollar iShares fund.
  • RSPN Equal weight, reset every quarter: the index trims what has run and tops up what has lagged on a schedule rather than letting size decide.invesco.com
  • About 80 holdings, none allowed to dominate, so the sector's giants and its mid-tier names carry the same say.
  • Trading since 2006 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, with a record spanning several industrial cycles and close tracking of its stated index.
  • Sits in the upper half of the broad industrials group, and pays distributions quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • EXI The 0.38% fee sits at the industrials group's midpoint, but US-only rivals such as XLI (0.08%) and VIS (0.09%) charge a fraction of it.
  • Overseas holdings pull currency moves and foreign market hours into the price, a layer domestic industrials funds skip.ishares.com
  • Moderately traded rather than heavily, so spreads can run wider than the busiest sector funds, and cash goes out annually or semiannually, not monthly.
  • RSPN The tilt has a price: 0.40% a year, against 0.08% for XLI and 0.09% for VIS on the cap-weighted side.
  • Equal weighting leans harder on the sector's smaller members, so results can drift from cap-weighted industrials benchmarks in either direction.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume heavyweight in its category, which can show up in spreads on larger orders.
