### In plain words

A financials ETF owns banks, insurers, asset managers and payment firms. Interest rates and credit conditions drive much of its result.

ETFIQ places 29 funds in the sector, with a median fee of 0.35%. Some are broad; some follow only banks or only insurers. Real estate is its own sector. A few large banks can make up much of a fund, so read the top ten weight and its date; ETFIQ also shows the gap to the benchmark.

### Questions

Is real estate part of financials? Not on ETFIQ. Real estate is its own sector, one of the 11.

How do rates affect a financials fund? Banks earn on the gap between what they pay and what they charge, so rate changes matter. This is a general fact, not a forecast.

Where do I compare funds? The compare tool puts two side by side.
