FXD: Factor-Based Consumer Discretionary ETF You Should Avoid
FXD is a highly volatile consumer discretionary ETF with a high 0.61% expense ratio and $1.43 billion in assets. The ETF holds 120 securities based on growth and value features. The Index weights securities in tiers, but it's close to equal-weighted, making RSPD an appropriate benchmark. Unfortunately, FXD has lagged behind this alternative since its May 2007 launch. The difference in returns is even more substantial when compared to broad-market funds like XLY and VCR, which FXD was designed to outperform on a risk-adjusted basis.
