FSTAAFidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF

PSCCCInvesco S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples ETF

In short

FSTA Consumer staples at Fidelity's house price: 0.08% a year for roughly 100 US soap, soda and supermarket stocks, tracking an investable-market index that reaches past the mega caps.

PSCC Most consumer staples ETFs are a stack of mega-cap giants. PSCC goes the other way, tracking the staples corner of the S&P SmallCap 600 (a couple dozen small US companies) for 0.29% a year.

Stated mandate

FSTA The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples Index.

PSCC The Fund normally invests at least 90% of its assets in small-capitalization U.S. consumer staples companies included in its Index.

Why people hold it

FSTA Costs 0.08% a year against a 0.40% median for staples ETFs. It matches the cheapest household name in the group (XLP) and edges out VDC.
Tracks the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples 25/50 Index, an investable-market benchmark, so the basket runs to about 100 names instead of a large-cap-only slice.fidelity.com
Trading since 2013 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it sits in the top quartile of the consumer staples funds we grade.

PSCC At 0.29% a year, it comes in under the typical fee in its consumer staples peer group, where the median sits closer to 0.40%.
Small-cap purity: normally at least 90% of assets in small-cap US staples companies from its index, a slice the big cap-weighted staples funds barely touch.invesco.com
Live since 2010, a long run for a slice this narrow, and it pays out on a quarterly schedule.

Worth knowing

FSTA One sector, one country. Results ride on US packaged food, household products and grocery shelves, with no ballast from the rest of the market.
Moderately traded rather than a tape-topper, so spreads can run wider than at the biggest staples ETFs, particularly in fast markets.
Income arrives quarterly, not monthly.

PSCC Thinly traded with a small asset base, so spreads and market impact can matter as much as the fee you see on the label.
Roughly two dozen holdings means one company's stumble moves the fund far more than it would in broad staples funds like XLP or VDC.
Small-cap staples swing harder than the large-cap defensives most people picture when they hear 'consumer staples', and it sits in the lower half of its peer group.
