KBWB Vs. IYF: Diversification Is Likely To Work In Challenging Conditions
The financials sector faces multiple challenges in 2025, including recession risks, rate cut uncertainty, high valuations, and slowing growth, making diversified ETFs like IYF more appealing. IYF's diversified portfolio across financial services, insurance, and professional services offers better risk-adjusted returns and lower volatility compared to the concentrated KBWB. KBWB's focus on large and regional banks increases its risk factor, especially amid economic downtrends and declining interest income, warranting a hold rating.
