Better Consumer Staples ETF: the iShares IYK vs. First Trust's Food and Beverage-Focused FTXG

IYK offers broader sector diversification across consumer staples, healthcare, and basic materials with a lower 0.38% expense ratio, larger asset base ($1.4B), and stronger five-year returns ($1,364 vs $1,063 on $1,000 invested). FTXG provides a narrower food and beverage focus that may appeal only to investors seeking specialized sector exposure.
