XLF - Financial Sector SPDR Fund - Stock & Dividends

The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the financial sector in the US market. It invests at least 95% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of securities from companies classified as financials by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

These companies come from a range of industries, including financial services, insurance, banking, capital markets, mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs), and consumer finance. This means the fund provides exposure to a broad spectrum of financial institutions, from banks and insurance companies to investment firms and mortgage lenders.

As a non-diversified fund, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund may have a higher concentration of assets in a particular sector or industry, which can increase its potential for growth but also raises its risk profile. This fund is listed on the NYSE Arca exchange under the ticker symbol XLF.

The fund is managed by State Street Global Advisors, a leading global asset management company based in the United States. You can find more information about the fund on the State Street Global Advisors website at http://www.spdrs.com.
