iShares US Consumer Discretionary ETF
iShares US Consumer Discretionary ETF (IYC) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that provides investors with diversified exposure to US consumer discretionary companies — firms whose revenues are sensitive to consumer spending, including retailers, automakers, leisure and consumer services. As an ETF from the iShares family, IYC holds a broad basket of equities to mirror a consumer-discretionary benchmark, offering easier diversification than picking individual stocks. It is traded like a share on exchanges, so liquidity, spreads and intraday pricing matter. Returns will rise and fall with the sector and underlying companies; consumer discretionary can outperform in periods of strong economic growth and underperform during slowdowns. Market-cap weighting means larger companies typically have bigger influence on performance. This summary is educational and not personal financial advice; check the fund’s factsheet for holdings, fees and index methodology, and consider your risk tolerance and time horizon before investing.
