Thereafter the assets fall off precipitously, with the next two largest sector ETFs being the SPDR Industrial ETF and SPDR Utilities ETF. Consumer staples, health care, basic materials, and finally consumer discretionary SPDRs round out the bottom of the SPDR lineup as measured by AuM. Only the Oil Service HOLDRs and JPMorgan Alerian MLP ETN break up the rankings of SPDRs. Nonetheless, it is quite obvious that the State Street SPDR lineup is dominating the sector ETF lineup.<\/p>\n

Sector Risk and Return Profiles As of early 2011, out of all the sectors, the consumer discretionary sector exhibited the best three-year risk-to-reward trade-off. Although the consumer staple sector had a modestly higher return, 4.5 percent as compared with 3.2 percent, over the same three-year period, the sector also exhibited higher volatility risk, as measured by standard deviation (the best measure of investment risk). The only two other economic sectors to experience positive performance over the last three years were the technology sector and the basic materials sector.<\/p>\n

However, no other economic sector exhibited higher volatility risk than basic materials. The financial sector had nearly the same level of risk as basic materials, but also experienced the worst annualized returns (\u201313.2 percent) by a very wide margin of all sectors. High risk and terrible returns defined financials over the period 2008 to 2010. Industrials and the energy sector also had higher than composite levels of risk together with negative annualized returns.<\/p>\n

The sector with the lowest degree of volatility risk was utilities, but still this sector had a negative return. The data illustrate that it was difficult to generate positive annualized returns over the past three-year period. SELECT SECTOR AND INDUSTRY ETFs Figures 9-3 to 9-12 provide some ETF alternatives you may want to consider for your own portfolio. I strongly encourage you to evaluate the list and determine for yourself if these investment options make sense for your needs. The figures focus on the 10 economic sectors, with each sector offering different portfolio risk and return enhancement opportunities.<\/p>\n

Each segment in the figures is sorted by expense ratio.<\/p>\n
