SPDR MSCI USA Gender Diversity ETF

SHE

Market cap $279M

Given the power of women in the world of business, investors may want to add female-centric companies to their portfolios with these ETFs.

SHE offers exposure to 241 U.S. large-cap companies committed to gender diversity. Its expense ratio is reasonable at 0.20% and the ETF has $260 million in assets under management. Due to an unusual screen unrelated to gender diversity, SHE has badly lagged behind SPY since its launch in March 2016. This left many investors with a bad impression. Fortunately, the ETF changed course in December 2022 and is now delivering returns more in line with SPY. Compared to other gender diversity ETFs like WOMN, it's a good choice.

It is always fun to root for the underdog. Who doesn't like a good Cinderella story?
