Best Long-Term Performance Utilities Sector ETFs 1.1

As most portfolio managers know, building a broadly diversified portfolio has one key building block. Low or negatively correlated assets. Ideally, if each of these building blocks has low correlation to the others, one or more will be falling in value while the others are going up in value. This ideal scenario lends itself to arbitrage opportunities and the ability to buy assets when the market has placed them ‘on-sale’. With that said, have you considered diversifying a portion of your portfolio into the Utilities sector? If you want low correlated assets in your portfolio, I would suggest considering the Utilities sector. The utilities sector has maintained a very low correlation to the U.S. Stock Market over the last 19 years, at just 0.39. I wrote more in depth about this low correlation phenomena right here:  Which Equity Asset Class has the Lowest Correlation to the U.S. Stock Market?

Which Equity Asset Class has the Lowest Correlation to the U.S. Stock Market?

When building a diversified portfolio of equities, one of the most important considerations is the correlation coefficient of the individual components in the portfolio. It just wouldn’t make sense to build a portfolio with several different assets that always go up and down simultaneously. If all the components of the portfolio are moving in tandem, there will be few opportunities to take advantage of the arbitrage benefits of re-balancing. And, if all the components of your portfolio are walking in lockstep with each other, why bother with diversifying into multiple funds, why not just buy a Total Stock Market fund or a Total World Equity index fund and leave all these re-balancing shenanigans alone?

There are several well-known equity asset classes that portfolio managers use to try and take advantage of diversification and low correlation. You probably have a few of these assets on your mind now, or at least in your portfolio. Which one do you think has the least correlation to the U.S. Stock Market?

  • Is it Emerging Markets?
  • Is it REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)?
  • Is it Consumer Staples?
  • Is it International Value Stocks?
  • Is it Small Cap Stocks?
  • Is it Large Cap Value Stocks?
  • Or, could it possible be the frequently neglected Utilities Sector?
