XLI in Focus

This ETF seeks to track the performance of the Industrial Select Sector Index. It has AUM of $18.50 billion and charges 12 basis points in annual fees.

The accelerated distribution of coronavirus vaccines and addition of stimulus are expected to drive demand and economic activities in the sector. This is making funds like XLI an attractive investment option.
