Consumer Discret Sel Sect SPDR ETF
XLY (Consumer Discret Sel Sect SPDR ETF) is a sector-focused exchange-traded fund that provides targeted exposure to US consumer discretionary companies — firms in retail, leisure, autos, media and related services. As a sector ETF, it concentrates on businesses whose revenues are sensitive to consumer spending and economic cycles, so it tends to be more growth-oriented and can be more volatile than broad-market funds. Investors use XLY to gain concentrated exposure to trends in retail, e-commerce, travel and durable goods, or to express a view on consumer demand. Because it focuses on a single sector, diversification is limited and performance can swing with the economic cycle. This summary is for educational purposes only and not personalised advice. Consider your investment goals, risk tolerance and the ETF’s suitability for your portfolio; values and income can fall as well as rise.
