The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF is having its best quarter since 2012. Two ETF experts share their strategies for getting in on the gains.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF is on pace for its best quarter since 2012, up over 17 percent since Jan. 1. The rally is largely pegged to lower interest rates, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield sitting at its lowest level in more than a year.
"Homebuilders did well in 2012. Well, we had a bear market in 2011. We just had a bear market in December. Homebuilders were down over 30 percent," Bartels told CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Monday, adding that lower interest rates are historically"very positive for the industry." He explained that while the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF is market-cap-weighted, a risk-averse characteristic that means larger-cap companies account for a bigger chunk of the portfolio than their smaller counterparts, its holdings are closely related to homebuilding. Its top holdings include names such as Lennar, D.R. Horton and PulteGroup.
