The article compares two financial sector ETFs: iShares U.S. Financials ETF (IYF) and State Street SPDR Bank ETF (KBE). IYF offers broader financial services exposure with 143 holdings and has delivered superior five-year returns ($1,626 vs $1,347 on $1,000 invested), proving more resilient during market downturns.
