Over the most recent trading day, the fund declined by 0.39%, following a weekly gain of 2.14% and a monthly increase of 0.71%. The three-month return accelerated to 6.05%, while the six-month performance reached 11.60%. Year-to-date returns stand at 16.12%, and the one-year return is recorded at 19.26%. Extending the timeframe further, the three-year return shows a cumulative gain of 73.87%. This trajectory indicates a pattern of sustained growth over the longer term, with the three-year figure significantly outpacing the shorter-term annualized metrics.
The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.01, indicating price movements that closely track the broader market with slightly amplified sensitivity. A Sharpe ratio of 0.86 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -18.49% reflects the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund during the analysis window. This combination of metrics implies that while the fund participates fully in market upswings, it also exposes investors to significant downside risk during market corrections. The moderate volatility rating aligns with the beta of 1.01, confirming that the fund does not exhibit extreme price swings relative to its benchmark.

XLI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 7.6M/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 $34.0B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: XLI 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. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
