SPMDAState Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF

XJHBiShares ESG Select Screened S&P Mid-Cap ETF

In short

SPMD Four ETFs track the S&P MidCap 400. This is the cheapest of them at 0.03%, a fraction of what the priciest wrapper on the identical 400 stocks charges. Same index, smaller toll booth.

XJH The S&P MidCap 400 with a bouncer at the door. XJH tracks a screened version of the same mid-cap benchmark, dropping companies tied to tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands, fossil fuel reserves and weapons.

Stated mandate

SPMD The fund seeks to track the total return performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index before fees and expenses, providing exposure to mid-cap U.S. equities.

XJH The fund seeks to track an ESG-screened version of the S&P MidCap 400 Index, providing core U.S. mid-cap equity exposure while excluding certain controversial business activities.

Why people hold it

SPMD 0.03% a year for the S&P MidCap 400. The other funds tracking that same index charge 0.05% (IJH), 0.07% (IVOO) and 0.23% (MDY).
Boring done well: about 400 mid-cap US stocks, one published S&P index, and tracking measured as among the tightest in its peer group.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.
Stands in the top tier of the S&P MidCap 400 wrappers we grade, driven by fee and tracking rather than any clever twist.

XJH A trim, not a rebuild: still roughly 400 mid-cap names from the same S&P index family, with exclusions taken off the top rather than the whole portfolio re-weighted.ishares.com
The screens are spelled out, not vibes: revenue thresholds and categorical exclusions set by the index provider for weapons, small arms, tobacco, oil sands, thermal coal and fossil fuel reserves.ishares.com
0.12% a year, below the median for S&P MidCap 400 trackers, and it pays out quarterly. Cheap for a screened product, and it does what the label says.

Worth knowing

SPMD Mid caps swing harder than mega caps in both directions. Volatility is the softest of this fund's measured marks.
One slice only: US mid-cap equity. No large caps, no small caps, no bonds, nothing overseas.
Cash comes quarterly, not monthly.

XJH One of the quieter tickers in its peer group. Thin volume can mean wider spreads, so limit orders matter more here than with the mega-liquid mid-cap funds.
The unscreened versions cost less: IJH runs 0.05% and SPMD 0.03%. The screen is what you're paying the difference for.
Exclusion-only, not best-in-class ranking. Cutting whole energy-linked categories means sector weights can drift from the parent S&P MidCap 400.sec.gov ishares.com
