Industrials Sector Equity

Industrial sector mutual funds and ETFs primarily invest in shares of companies... Industrial sector mutual funds and ETFs primarily invest in shares of companies related to manufacturing and distribution of products. This sector includes companies in the aerospace, defense, automotive, chemical, construction, environmental services, machinery, paper, and transportation sectors. These funds can be actively or passively managed, and may, depending on their mandate, invest in small, mid, or large-capitalization stocks. Industrial mutual funds and ETFs may be attractive investments for those who believe the economy is poised to expand. An expanding economy can lead to increased spending on capital goods such as machinery, for example. Some industrial companies (such as those in the defense and aerospace sectors) can also benefit from increases in government spending directed at their products and services. Industrial mutual funds and ETFs tend to own stocks that are more value rather than growth-oriented. As a result, these companies may trade at attractive valuations, sport decent dividend yields, and have solid balance sheets, making them appropriate for more conservative investors.
