In plain words

A utilities ETF owns firms that supply electricity, gas and water. They are usually regulated and often pay steady dividends.

ETFIQ lists 8 utilities funds, far fewer than Energy (32) or Technology (25); the median fee is 0.37%. Similar funds often own much the same firms. Utilities are sensitive to interest rates because payouts compete with bond yields. ETFIQ shows each fund’s 12-month yield beside its price change.
