What XLB does
The State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLB) aims to replicate the investment outcomes, including both price appreciation and yield, of the Materials Select Sector Index, prior to accounting for expenses. This underlying index effectively represents the materials segment of the broader S&P 500 Index. The ETF offers focused exposure to companies across key materials industries, including chemicals, metals and mining, paper and forest products, containers and packaging, and construction materials.
