About this ETF
The State Street SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) is designed to mirror the total return performance of the S&P Aerospace & Defense Select Industry Index, prior to deducting fees and expenses. This fund provides specific access to the Aerospace & Defense segment, featuring companies identified within this sector by the S&P Total Market Index. Utilizing a modified equal-weighting approach, the ETF strives to offer diversified, less concentrated exposure across large, mid, and small-capitalization stocks within the industry. This granular focus empowers investors to implement precise strategic or tactical investment maneuvers, providing a more targeted tool compared to broader sector-based investment options.

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.
