Bank ETF Showdown: Invesco Crushes iShares
Lower concentration risk and deeper liquidity set these two financial sector ETFs apart.
Bank ETF Showdown: Invesco Crushes iShares
Overview
Invesco KBW Bank ETF (NASDAQ:KBWB) offers broader exposure to major U.S. money center banks and national institutions, while iShares U.S. Regional Banks ETF (NYSEMKT:IAT) provides a more concentrated bet on the domestic regional banking sector.
These ETFs allow investors to target the financial sector with differing levels of specificity. While both concentrate on bank equities, their underlying indexes select and weigh holdings differently, leading to variations in liquidity, price volatility, and total returns. With assets under management (AUM) exceeding $6 billion, KBWB offers deeper liquidity than the smaller IAT.
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.
