About this ETF
This ETF is designed to replicate the investment performance of a benchmark index representing the consumer staples industry. It is administered passively, primarily utilizing a full-replication strategy, but may resort to a sampling approach if regulatory requirements necessitate it. The fund's portfolio comprises equities of businesses that supply direct-to-consumer products, which are categorized as nondiscretionary based on typical consumer spending behaviors.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
