Which retail ETF is the best?
With $457 billion in assets under management, the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT, $39.07) is by far the largest pure-play retail ETF on the market, over eight times larger than the next closest fund.
At each rebalance, the XRT is a portfolio of 85 retail companies that are evenly weighted. That implies the fund adjusts all of its holdings on a regular basis to ensure that they are all equally invested. This guarantees that no single stock has an outsized impact on the fund, which is helpful in that it protects the ETF from being harmed by a single stock’s collapse, but disadvantageous in that a large surge in one company’s shares would only provide a limited lift.
Looking at the big picture, garment retailers like L Brands and Urban Outfitters (URBN) have the highest share of the market at 24%, followed by internet and direct marketing shops like Amazon and Groupon (GRPN). Other types of retail equities available to investors through the XRT include automotive retailers, pharmacies, department stores, and grocers.
