iShares Global Utilities ETF

This ETF seeks to replicate a benchmark that measures the performance of the utilities sector of the global equity market. An investment in the utilities sector offers several advantages to the average investor. Firstly, many utilities are a necessity in today's world, and as our population continues to grow in the future, the demand for these companies will only increase in theory. Second, utility companies are known for their high dividend yields, giving investors a steady stream of income despite what market conditions may be like. Finally, these companies may prove to be somewhat recession proof; no matter what the economic conditions are, people still need to use electricity and other utilities to go about their daily lives. JXI spreads its assets across numerous countries, including the U.S., UK, Germany, France, and others. This product will be a good option for investors who feel that there are opportunities abroad, but still wish to obtain exposure to this robust sector in the U.S. economy as well.
