Description: XLU Utilities Sector SPDR Fund October 16, 2025
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLU) seeks to mirror the performance of its benchmark index by employing a near-full replication approach-investing at least 95% of assets in the constituent securities. The index is composed of companies operating in electric, water, multi-utility, independent power and renewable electricity production, and gas utility sectors, making the fund non-diversified and heavily weighted toward regulated utility firms.
Key metrics to note: XLU carries a low expense ratio of roughly 0.12%, and its weighted average dividend yield hovers around 3.5%, reflecting the historically stable cash flows of utility businesses. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to interest-rate movements (beta ≈ 0.6) because utility earnings are regulated and often benchmarked against sovereign yields. Current sector drivers include the transition to renewable generation-fueling capital allocation to solar and wind assets-and the ongoing demand for grid modernization, both of which can affect earnings growth and capital expenditure cycles.
