Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IYKBiShares U.S. Consumer Staples ETF

PSLDInvesco Dorsey Wright Consumer Staples Momentum ETF

In short

IYK A 2000-vintage staples fund: one of the first US sector ETFs ever listed, now tracking a Russell 1000 index that caps its biggest names and reaches past the S&P 500 into mid-cap staples. The wider net costs 0.37%.

PSL Most staples funds buy the whole aisle. PSL ranks staples names on relative strength and reshuffles quarterly, holding roughly 50 at 0.60% net of a waiver through August 31, 2028.

Stated mandate

IYK The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. equities in the consumer staples sector, providing diversified exposure to U.S. food, beverage, and household-goods producers.

PSL The Fund is based on the Dorsey Wright Consumer Staples Technical Leaders Index, which selects at least 30 consumer-staples securities exhibiting powerful relative-strength characteristics.

Why people hold it

  • IYK Listed June 12, 2000, one of the original iShares US sector funds: a quarter-century of staples exposure across multiple market cycles.ishares.com
  • Built on a Russell 1000 staples index, so the bench runs deeper than the S&P 500 universe that feeds XLP. Mid-cap food, beverage and household-goods names get a seat.ishares.comssga.com
  • The index uses RIC capping, trimming the largest positions so no single staples giant swallows the portfolio.lseg.com
  • Upper half of its staples peer group, a billion-dollar-plus fund that distributes quarterly.
  • PSL Momentum inside the market's most defensive aisle: the index picks at least 30 staples names showing relative strength, then rebalances and reconstitutes every quarter.invesco.com
  • Price strength, not market cap, decides who gets in, so the roughly 50-stock lineup can look very different from the cap-weighted staples giants.invesco.com
  • Live since 2006, making it one of the longest-running momentum sector funds on the board, with pay-outs on a quarterly schedule.

Worth knowing

  • IYK 0.37%, with no fee waiver in place. Near the category median, but well above the index heavyweights: XLP at 0.08%, FSTA at 0.084%, VDC at 0.09%.
  • About 50 holdings, cap-weighted. The capping rules shave the top rather than spreading weight evenly, so a few household names carry much of the fund.
  • Trades moderately, with a thinner tape than the largest funds in the staples aisle.
  • PSL The screen costs: 0.60% net of a waiver through August 31, 2028 (0.76% gross) sits above the staples category median. XLP charges 0.08%, VDC 0.09%, neither under a waiver.
  • Thinly traded next to the big staples funds, so spreads can widen and limit orders earn their keep.
  • A quarterly momentum reset means holdings turn over and the portfolio can drift far from the broad staples benchmark, for better or worse.invesco.com
