XRT is the largest retail ETF but by all means, not the only one. IBUY is another one to look at for more e-commerce names. IBUY though includes companies around the world while XRT is 100% United States.
Hence, XRT is Granny’s monkier as it also offers exposure to many sub-industries with the retail industry, including apparel, drug retailers, departments stores and computer and electronics retailers.
It’s important to remember that the US consumer makes up approximately 70% of the our economy.
Without Granny Retail’s shopping and consumerism, our economy would not the largest in the world.
