seeks to provide investors with exposure to the US equity market, but
excludes companies in the financials sector. The ETF's objective is to
track the performance of the S&P 500 Ex-Financials Index, which is a
widely recognized benchmark for the US equity market, excluding the
financials sector.
SPXN invests in a portfolio of US large-cap
stocks included in the S&P 500 Index, with the goal of providing
investors with exposure to the broad US equity market, while excluding
companies in the financials sector. The ETF's holdings are selected
based on factors such as liquidity, market capitalization, and sector
classification, and are designed to provide investors with exposure to
a diversified portfolio of US large-cap stocks.

billion and holds a portfolio of over 400 US large-cap stocks. The
ETF's expense ratio is 0.20%, which is relatively low compared to
other ETFs.
SPXN has a track record of providing investors with
solid returns. Since its inception in 2015, the fund has provided
investors with an annualized return of around 15% (as of March 23,
2023).
Overall, the S&P 500 Ex-Financials ETF (SPXN) could be a
good investment option for investors looking to invest in the broad US
equity market while excluding the financials sector. However, as with
any investment, it is important to conduct thorough research and
consider factors such as risk tolerance, investment objectives, and
fees before making a decision. Additionally, investors should be aware
that excluding the financials sector may impact the ETF's performance
during periods when the financials sector is outperforming the broader
market.
