Description: XLP Consumer Staples Sector Fund

The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) uses a replication strategy to track its underlying benchmark, investing at least 95% of its total assets in the securities that make up the index. The index is composed of companies classified as Consumer Staples under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), a sector that typically includes producers of food, beverages, household products, and tobacco. The fund is structured as a non-diversified fund, meaning it may hold a concentrated position in a smaller number of issuers relative to diversified funds.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Treasury yields rise reducing appeal of dividend-paying staples
  • Consumer goods margins pressured by commodity input inflation
  • Private label competition limits pricing power at packaged food companies
