XLU - IDU: iShares U.S. Utilities ETF Solid Pick But Not The Best
SPDR Select Sector Fund - Utilities
IDU holds 44 utilities stocks across all market cap sizes. However, its fees are 0.41% annually, directly reducing yield to just 2.28%.
Utilities are a hot sector right now and there are reasons to believe outperformance will continue even as interest rates rise. This article presents other factors affecting performance.
Compared with the cheaper XLU, IDU is more volatile and has better growth potential, but likely not enough to offset the added fees. Therefore, my rating is only a hold.
