FDISBFidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF

RXIDiShares Global Consumer Discretionary ETF

In short

FDIS Cheap and wide. FDIS holds about 300 US consumer discretionary stocks rather than the sector's mega-cap handful, and charges 0.08% while the typical fund in its peer group asks roughly four times that.

RXI Most consumer discretionary ETFs stop at the US border. RXI doesn't: roughly 130 carmakers, retailers and luxury houses worldwide in one ticker, tracking a global index since 2006.

Stated mandate

FDIS The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Discretionary 25/50 Index.

RXI The fund seeks to track an index of global consumer-discretionary equities, providing diversified access to companies that make non-essential goods and services.

Why people hold it

  • FDIS 0.08% a year, level with the cheapest large fund in the group (XLY) and a fraction of the roughly 0.35% cohort median.
  • About 300 holdings: the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Discretionary 25/50 Index reaches past the mega caps into mid and small caps.
  • Tracks that index closely, one of the stronger implementations among the 17 funds in its consumer discretionary group.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund from Fidelity, trading since 2013, that pays distributions quarterly.
  • RXI Tracks the S&P Global 1200 Consumer Discretionary Sector Capped Index, so Japanese and European names sit next to the US giants instead of being left out.ishares.com
  • The top-ranked rivals here (XLY, FDIS, VCR, RSPD) are US-only. RXI is the global take on the same sector, a genuinely different basket rather than another S&P 500 slice.
  • Live since 2006, with an index that caps individual weights so no single mega-cap swallows the fund. Roughly 130 holdings spread the bet.

Worth knowing

  • FDIS One sector, and a cyclical one. Returns ride on how freely US households spend, so the ride is bumpier than a total-market fund's.
  • The 25/50 rules cap how large any single position gets, but this is still a concentrated slice of the US market.
  • Moderately traded rather than the category's busiest ticker. Limit orders are the sensible habit, especially in size.
  • RXI Global reach costs more: 0.37% a year, above the peer-group median of 0.35% and several times what US-only options like XLY and FDIS (0.08%) charge.
  • One of the quieter tickers in the category, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than the heavily traded US sector funds.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly or monthly. Non-US holdings also bring currency movement into the return.
