Description: XLB Materials Sector SPDR Fund November 06, 2025
The Materials Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLB) seeks to replicate the performance of its underlying index by investing at least 95% of its assets in the index constituents, which span chemicals, metals & mining, paper & forest products, containers & packaging, and construction materials. Because the fund holds a concentrated set of securities, it is classified as non-diversified.
Key metrics as of the latest filing: expense ratio ≈ 0.12%, total assets ≈ $7 billion, and the top five holdings (e.g., Linde, Dow, DuPont, Newmont, and Freeport-McMoRan) together represent roughly 30% of the portfolio. The sector’s performance is heavily influenced by global commodity price trends, industrial production growth, and construction activity-particularly the demand for steel, aluminum, and specialty chemicals, which have shown a year-over-year price increase of about 8% and 12% respectively in 2024.
If you’re looking to deepen your analysis of XLB’s risk-adjusted return profile and how macro-level material demand forecasts could affect its outlook, a quick dive into ValueRay’s data tools may be a useful next step.
