State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF

XLY, used by those who want to invest in companies tied to consumers' non-essential spending, currently goes by the name State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF. The fund's previous name was Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund; its shares trade on NYSE Arca.

The issuer states that the fund targets results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector Index. The index consists of the consumer discretionary companies in S&P's large-company US index. The areas it covers include general and specialty retail; hotels, restaurants and leisure; textiles, apparel and luxury goods; household durables; automobiles and auto parts; distributors; leisure products; and diversified consumer services. Because of weighting by company size, large e-commerce and electric car companies carry notable weight in the fund.

For this fund, consumer confidence, employment and wage growth, the effect of interest rates on the cost of credit cards and auto loans, holiday season sales and tariffs are important variables. Small differences can be seen between XLY's market price and its net asset value (NAV).
