iShares S&P Global Industrials Index ETF (CAD-Hedged)

iShares S&P Global Industrials Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XGI.TO) Company Profile & Overview

The fund offers access to global industrials, providing reasonably marketlike coverage in a stable, accessible package. The underlying index excludes smaller firms by rule, favoring large-caps instead. The fund slightly overweights the firms that already dominate the space due to its market-cap weighting, but avoids geographic biases overall. The index constituents are individually selected by a committee from the S&P Global 1200, and narrowed down to include only those classified as industrials by GICS. Index rebalancing is done quarterly. XGI will mainly invest in one or more iShares ETFs that reflects the underlying index’ exposure. The fund is CAD-hedged.
