Description: XLF Financial Sector SPDR Fund September 26, 2025

The Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund (NYSE ARCA:XLF) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks a GICS-defined financial sector index, allocating at least 95 % of its assets to the index constituents. The index covers a broad swath of financial services firms-including banks, insurers, capital-market participants, mortgage REITs, and consumer-finance companies-making the fund non-diversified by regulatory definition.

As of the most recent filing, XLF carries an expense ratio of 0.12 % and manages roughly $40 billion in assets, placing it among the largest U.S. sector ETFs. Its top ten holdings (e.g., JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup) collectively account for about 55 % of the portfolio, underscoring the concentration risk inherent in the financial sector. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to macro-economic drivers such as the Federal Reserve’s policy rate, credit-cycle health, and housing-market activity, which together explain a large share of its return variance.
