About this ETF
This exchange-traded fund is crafted to mirror the investment performance of a specific reference index that tracks the returns of equities within the financial services industry. It operates under a passive management approach, primarily utilizing a full replication methodology whenever practical, but will employ a sampling strategy if regulatory constraints necessitate it. The fund's portfolio is comprised of shares from firms that offer financial services.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns.

Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
