S&P Retail SPDR ETF
S&P Retail SPDR ETF (XRT) is an exchange-traded fund that offers targeted exposure to the US retail sector by tracking a retail-focused index. Unlike market-cap-weighted sector ETFs, XRT is equal-weighted across its holdings, so smaller and mid-sized retailers can have similar influence to larger chains. That structure may increase volatility and turnover, making the fund more suitable for investors seeking a concentrated retail play or tactical sector exposure rather than a broad-market core holding. XRT's holdings typically span specialty retailers, online merchants, discount chains and department stores, so performance is tied closely to consumer spending patterns and retail-specific trends. Investors should weigh sector concentration risk, trading costs, fees and tax implications, and remember past performance does not guarantee future returns. This information is general and educational, not personal investment advice; consider your risk tolerance and investment goals or consult a professional before investing.
