RSPDCInvesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary ETF

VCRBVanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF

In short

RSPD Every consumer discretionary name in the S&P 500 gets the same slice here, so no single mega-cap sets the tone. Same shopping list as the cap-weighted sector funds, a very different plate.

VCR Consumer discretionary, the whole aisle. VCR tracks roughly 300 US retailers, carmakers, restaurants and travel names across large, mid and small caps for 0.09% a year, instead of stopping at the S&P 500's handful of giants.

Stated mandate

RSPD The Fund tracks an index that equally weights stocks in the consumer discretionary sector of the S&P 500® Index.

VCR The fund passively tracks an index representing U.S. consumer discretionary stocks, seeking to approximate the index through full replication when possible and sampling when required.

Why people hold it

RSPD Equal weighting: roughly 50 S&P 500 discretionary names each get the same cut, so a homebuilder or restaurant chain counts as much as the biggest online retailer.invesco.com
The starting universe is the S&P 500 itself, so the roster is large, established US consumer companies rather than small-cap retail.invesco.com
Trading since 2006, it has carried the same equal-weight mandate through multiple consumer spending cycles.
It hugs its index tightly, which is the entire job of an index fund, and stands as one of the stronger implementations in the discretionary group.

VCR Costs 0.09% a year against a category median near 0.35%. In sector funds, where everyone owns roughly the same giants, that fee gap is the part you control.
The index reaches past mega-caps into mid and small cap US consumer stocks, so homebuilders, specialty retailers and restaurant chains ride along too.vanguard.com msci.com
Plain mechanics: full replication of its MSCI index where possible, sampling only where it isn't, with quarterly distributions. Same recipe since the 2004 launch.
A multi-billion-dollar fund and one of the stronger builds in the consumer discretionary group, with tracking that stays close to the index it names.

Worth knowing

RSPD At 0.40% a year it costs more than cap-weighted rivals like XLY (0.08%) and VCR (0.09%). The equal-weight tilt is what you are paying up for.
Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads deserve a look and limit orders do more work here than in the largest sector funds.
One cyclical sector, about 50 stocks. Income arrives quarterly, but the ride tracks how freely households are spending.

VCR Cap weighting rules the top: a few giants carry most of the basket despite about 300 names. Index rules cap any single issuer at 25%, which still leaves it top-heavy.msci.com msci.com 2
One sector, and a cyclical one. These are the industries Vanguard describes as most sensitive to economic cycles, so the ride is bumpier than a total-market fund.vanguard.com
XLY and FDIS come in a basis point lower at 0.08%. The cost race in this corner is now measured in rounding, not dollars.
