Description: XLY Consumer Discretionary

The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLY) employs a replication strategy, investing at least 95% of its total assets in the securities that make up its underlying index. The index comprises companies classified as Consumer Discretionary under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), and the fund is structured as a non-diversified ETF.

Launched in December 1998, XLY is one of the original Select Sector SPDR ETFs and focuses on large-cap U.S. consumer cyclical companies. The Consumer Discretionary sector typically includes businesses such as retail, automotive, apparel, leisure, and homebuilders, whose revenues tend to be more sensitive to economic cycles than staples. As a non-diversified fund, XLY may hold larger positions in a smaller number of issuers compared to diversified funds, concentrating exposure across the sectors key players.
