The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) invests at least 95% of its total assets in the securities of its underlying index, which tracks U.S. companies classified as Financial firms under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), a sector taxonomy jointly maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI.
The index spans six sub-industries: financial services, insurance, banks, capital markets, mortgage real estate investment trusts, and consumer finance. Mortgage REITs typically generate income by holding mortgage-backed securities or originating loans rather than owning physical real estate, distinguishing them from equity REITs.
The fund is non-diversified, meaning it may hold larger positions in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, although the underlying index provides broad exposure across the financial sector.
