PSCCCInvesco S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples ETF

VDCBVanguard Consumer Staples ETF

In short

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.

VDC Vanguard's take on the boring-on-purpose sector: about 100 US large-, mid- and small-cap staples names (soap, soda, groceries) for 0.09% a year, running since 2004.

Stated mandate

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

VDC The fund seeks to track the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Staples 25/50 Index, which measures the performance of large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. consumer staples stocks.

Why people hold it

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.

VDC Charges 0.09% a year. Only XLP and FSTA sit lower at 0.08%, while the equal-weight and global alternatives (RSPS, KXI) run 0.38% to 0.40%.
Its index spans large-, mid- and small-cap US staples, roughly 100 stocks, so mid-sized beverage and household-products makers count, not just the mega-cap handful.
Hugs its MSCI benchmark tightly, one of the closer index implementations among broad consumer staples funds.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that has been trading since 2004 and pays out quarterly.

Worth knowing

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.

VDC One sector, one story. Staples move with grocery aisles and household budgets, not the broad market.
Even with the index's 25/50 diversification caps, a few giant food, beverage and retail names carry most of the weight.
Moderately traded rather than the category's volume leader, so limit orders earn their keep on larger trades.
