Consumer-Focused ETFs

Most of these ETFs invest in stocks of companies that are involved in a number of sectors, including retail, leisure and entertainment, media, and automotive industries. Outside of the casino gaming-specific ETFs in this category, we see this group as ideal for conservative investors. The stocks most of these ETFs manage are not intended to provide great growth within the portfolio, but are designed to provide income and preserve the principal balance over the investor's estimated lifespan. Again, ideal for investors with either a short term goal (less than 3 years), or those who are in retirement seeking a regular income stream.
