Our proprietary snapshot of this list — averages and standouts, computed from the funds below. Not investment advice.
Sector ETFs slice the U.S. stock market into its 11 GICS sectors — technology, financials, health care, energy, and the rest — so you can tilt toward or away from a slice of the economy in a single trade. This page gathers the funds that matter for each sector across the major issuers, so you can compare the options side by side.
The curated mapping includes State Street, Vanguard, Fidelity, iShares, and Invesco funds, but does not contain every sector product or an entry from every issuer in each sector. Index universes, size coverage, weighting limits, and rebalancing rules differ. Equal-weight funds reset weights at rebalancing; holdings drift between resets. A sector label, similar fee, or model score does not establish equivalent exposure or guaranteed income.
What's on this list
A curated selection of sector-ETF families, limited to mapped symbols with available data.
- Coverage: mapped funds across all 11 GICS sectors. The selection is not exhaustive, and issuer coverage varies by sector.
- Sector labels come from our own mapping, not the raw data feed, so every fund is filed under the right sector.
- Order: grouped by sector, then by AUM within each sector. Fund size is not a liquidity ranking; compare trading volume and bid-ask spreads separately.
- Live columns: yield, expense ratio, AUM, and Distribution Safety Score all refresh from our pipeline on every build.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 11 stock market sectors?
Under the GICS standard the market splits into Technology, Financials, Health Care, Energy, Industrials, Communication Services, Utilities, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Materials. This page lists ETFs for all 54 funds across those 11 sectors.
What are the SPDR sector ETFs?
State Street's Select Sector SPDR funds are the best-known sector ETFs — XLK (Technology), XLF (Financials), XLV (Health Care), XLE (Energy) and so on, one for each of the 11 sectors. They're among the largest and most-traded ETFs in the market; this list shows them alongside Vanguard, Fidelity, iShares, and equal-weight alternatives.
What's the difference between the SPDR, Vanguard, and equal-weight versions?
Compare each index's eligible companies, size coverage, weighting limits, and rebalancing rules. Market-cap-based portfolios can concentrate in larger companies, while equal-weight strategies reset weights at scheduled rebalances and then drift. Similar sector names do not guarantee matching holdings or returns. Expense ratios are only one part of the comparison.
Do sector ETFs pay dividends?
Yes, most pass through the dividends of their holdings, though yields vary widely by sector — utilities, energy, and real estate funds typically yield much more than technology or consumer-discretionary ones. Each fund's live yield and Distribution Safety Score are in the table.
How often is this list updated?
The membership is curated across the major issuers, while yields, expense ratios, AUM, and Distribution Safety Score readings refresh from our data pipeline on every build.
