Overview

The iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (KXI) is a fund managed by iShares that operates within the Consumer Staples category, one of five ETFs tracked by ETFValuer in this sector. Currently priced at $67.95 with assets under management totaling $1.01 billion, the fund holds an overall rank of #367 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories. It has received an ETFValuer grade of C, reflecting a score of 51.8 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.39% and offers a dividend yield of 2.38%. The combination of a mid-tier rank and a moderate asset base suggests a specific level of investor adoption relative to the broader market. These metrics collectively define the fund's current standing and cost structure for potential investors.

Over the most recent trading day, the fund posted a return of +1.06%, following a weekly decline of -1.89%. The one-month performance shows a slight decrease of -0.41%, while the three-month period recovered to a gain of +1.09%. Extending the timeline to six months, returns accelerated to +2.63%, and year-to-date performance reached +6.41%. The one-year return stands at +5.88%, which is comparable to the one-year returns of category peers XLP at +5.90% and VDC at +5.27%. Looking further back, the three-year return totals +18.20%, indicating a distinct divergence between short-term fluctuations and longer-term accumulation.

KXI carries a low volatility label and a beta of 0.52, suggesting the fund generally experiences smaller price swings than the broader market. This lower sensitivity is reflected in a maximum drawdown of -11.92% during the measured period. However, the fund's Sharpe ratio of 0.07 indicates that the risk-adjusted returns have been relatively modest despite the lower volatility. The combination of a low beta and a negative or near-zero Sharpe ratio implies that while the fund may limit downside movement, it has not generated significant excess returns per unit of risk taken. Investors observing these figures would see a profile characterized by stability but limited reward relative to the risk assumed.

KXI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 4.96% and average daily volume is 68K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $1.01B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: KXI is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
