JXIBiShares Global Utilities ETF

RSPUCInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Utilities ETF

In short

JXI Almost every utilities ETF stops at the US border. JXI doesn't: it holds the utilities slice of the S&P Global 1200, so overseas power, gas and water operators sit alongside the American names. Running since 2006.

RSPU Utilities without one giant hogging the wheel. RSPU equal-weights the S&P 500's utility stocks, so a mid-sized water company carries about the same load as the biggest power name. It has been running this way since 2006.

Stated mandate

JXI The Fund seeks to track an index representing global equities in the utilities sector.

RSPU The fund seeks to track an index that equally weights the common stocks of S&P 500 companies classified in the utilities sector.

Why people hold it

  • JXI The passport is the point: its index is the utilities cut of the S&P Global 1200, large-cap power, gas and water worldwide. Cohort rivals XLU, VPU and FUTY stay inside the US.sec.gov
  • Capped by design. Issuers above 5% of the index are held to 25% in aggregate, so two or three giants can't swallow a roughly 60-stock portfolio.sec.gov
  • No mystery in the mandate: a plain global utilities benchmark since 2006, with the index and its capping rules spelled out in iShares' filings.sec.gov
  • RSPU Equal weighting is the whole point: roughly 30 S&P 500 utilities each get about the same slice, so no single mega-cap utility dominates the portfolio.invesco.com
  • It does what the label says: S&P 500 utilities, index-tracked, no derivatives or off-menu holdings, and it has stayed close to its benchmark.
  • A long track record for a niche idea. Launched in 2006, it pays distributions quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • JXI You pay for the border crossing. The 0.37% fee sits at the category median, but US-only peers XLU and FUTY charge 0.08% and VPU 0.09%.
  • Thinly traded next to the big US utility funds, so the bid-ask spread and your order type do more of the work.
  • Cash comes in lumps: distributions are paid on an annual or semiannual schedule rather than quarterly.
  • RSPU The equal-weight build carries a price: 0.40% a year, versus the cheapest utilities trackers in the group (XLU, FUTY, VPU), which charge well under a tenth of a percent.
  • It trades thinly next to the household-name utilities funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads.
  • One sector, about 30 names, concentrated by design. Flat weighting also leans harder on smaller utilities than a size-weighted fund does.
