FUTYAFidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF

PSCUCInvesco S&P SmallCap Utilities & Communication Services ETF

In short

FUTY The whole US power grid in one ticker. Fidelity tracks an all-cap MSCI utilities index, so mid- and small-cap operators ride along with the mega-cap names, at 0.08% a year.

PSCU Most utilities ETFs are a parking lot for mega-cap power giants. PSCU goes small instead: an index of roughly 40 small-cap US utility and communication-services companies, at a below-median fee.

Stated mandate

FUTY The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Utilities Index.

PSCU The fund tracks an index measuring the performance of securities from US utility companies and communication-services companies.

Why people hold it

  • FUTY Costs 0.08% a year against a 0.37% median for broad utilities funds. That ties XLU on price and edges out VPU.
  • The MSCI USA IMI Utilities Index reaches past the S&P 500 giants into mid- and small-cap utilities, roughly 70 names of power, gas and water.fidelity.com
  • Plain index replication, running since 2013, with tracking that has stayed tight to the benchmark. No swaps, no options overlay, no clever wrapper.fidelity.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund from a major issuer that pays out quarterly, and one of the stronger builds in the utilities group.
  • PSCU Charges 0.29% a year, under the 0.37% median for broad utilities funds.
  • Rare mandate: small-cap US utilities plus communication services in one index, a corner the big sector funds barely reach.
  • Live since 2010 as a plain 1940 Act index fund. No leverage, no derivatives overlay, no swaps.
  • Pays distributions quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • FUTY This is one sector, about 70 stocks. When utilities are out of favor, there is nowhere in the portfolio to hide.
  • Moderately traded rather than the category's busiest tape, so limit orders are the sane habit on larger tickets.
  • The all-cap reach cuts both ways: smaller utilities in the mix behave differently from the household-name giants that dominate S&P 500-only rivals.
  • PSCU Thinly traded with a small asset base. Spreads and order size can cost more than the expense ratio.
  • Two sectors, small caps only, about 40 names. It can move very differently from mega-cap utility funds like XLU or VPU.
  • The cheapest broad utilities funds sit near 0.08%, so the small-cap tilt is what you are paying the extra for.
