ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show.

This ETF offers exposure to the U.S. retail industry, a targeted sub-sector of the consumer discretionary space that may have appeal for investors looking to bet on increased consumer consumption in the domestic market. XRT is probably too targeted for any investor with a long-term buy-and-hold strategy, but may have appeal for those looking to implement a sector rotation strategy or overweight high beta corners of the U.S. market.
