The iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (KXI) is structured as a passively managed index fund that seeks to replicate the performance of its underlying benchmark. It commits at least 80% of its assets to the component securities of that index, or investments with substantially identical economic characteristics, while reserving up to 20% for futures, options, swap contracts, and cash equivalents - instruments commonly used for liquidity management and tracking efficiency.
The funds underlying index is a subset of the S&P Global 1200, a broad benchmark designed by S&P Dow Jones Indices to measure large-capitalization equities across major global markets. By drawing from this global universe, the ETF provides exposure to multinational consumer staples issuers rather than being confined to a single geography.
KXI is classified within the Consumer Defensive category, a sector encompassing companies that produce or distribute essential, non-cyclical goods such as food, beverages, household products, and tobacco. Businesses in this category typically exhibit relatively stable demand through economic downturns, which is why consumer staples ETFs are often used by investors seeking defensive positioning or steady dividend income. With an inception date of September 2006 and a market capitalization of approximately $1.14 billion, KXI qualifies as a small-cap ETF by assets, though its underlying holdings consist of large-cap global consumer brands.
