This State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLY) is engineered to closely mirror the total return—encompassing both capital appreciation and income—of the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index, prior to management fees. This foundational index accurately reflects the consumer discretionary segment of the S&P 500. The ETF offers focused exposure to a broad spectrum of companies, including those in specialty and general retail, hotels, restaurants, and leisure, textiles, luxury goods, household durables, automobiles and components, distributors, leisure products, and diversified consumer services. This structure empowers investors to build more precise strategic or tactical allocations than typically available through conventional style-based investing.
