The State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLB) aims to replicate the investment outcomes, including both price appreciation and yield, of the Materials Select Sector Index, prior to accounting for expenses. This underlying index effectively represents the materials segment of the broader S&P 500 Index. The ETF offers focused exposure to companies across key materials industries, including chemicals, metals and mining, paper and forest products, containers and packaging, and construction materials. This precise targeting enables investors to establish either strategic long-term or tactical short-term positions, providing a more granular approach compared to conventional style-based investment strategies.

Compare XLB with another ETF
The disclosed top holdings suggest a more concentrated portfolio than a plain broad-market fund. IE000S9YS762, NEM, and FCX account for much of the visible weight, with the top three at 27.04% and the top ten at 58.87%. Sector labels are limited in the visible top holdings, so the concentration read is driven mainly by the largest names themselves.
XLB should show moderate to meaningful overlap with ETFs built for similar core equity exposure, but more separation from narrow sector or international funds. The biggest shared drivers usually come from the same large holdings that dominate the top of the portfolio.
On this site, investors often compare XLB with VOO, VTI, and QQQ. Those matchups usually answer a simple question: does adding this fund create a different sleeve, or does it mostly duplicate exposure you already own? XLB currently connects to 64 live comparison pages.
