KXI: A Defensive Choice With Limited Growth Potential And U.S. Dollar Risks
iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF invests in about 120 global consumer staples stocks, but has higher expenses and weaker growth prospects than U.S.-focused funds. KXI's portfolio is 62.1% U.S. stocks, providing stability during economic downturns but lagging in capital appreciation compared to other sectors and broader market funds.
