Portfolio Building Block World Consumer Staples ETF (PBCS)

Portfolio Building Block World Consumer Staples ETF (PBCS) is an exchange-traded fund in the Portfolio Building Block series, a lineup of narrowly focused funds intended to be used as components when constructing a diversified portfolio. Each fund in the series isolates a specific sector, industry or region so that investors can adjust exposures precisely.

The fund invests in consumer staples companies from around the world, including both U.S. and international markets. These are businesses that produce or sell everyday essentials such as food, beverages, household and personal care products, and tobacco, as well as food and drug retailers whose demand tends to be relatively steady through economic cycles.
