Time for utilities to cycle back into favor for a few years. And it adds some diversification to my Caps portfolio.

My thought on sector selection is to simply invest in where you pay your bills: utilities, consumer staples, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and defense (you pay taxes, don't you?).

utilities are going to stay strong through the current market, but there may be problems in a few years depending on what the new administration decides to do with coal/nuclear/renewable energy.

New tactic for this market - index sector over individual stock - in bad times folks still need heat/light etc. so simple utilities play.

A very attractive addition to a portfolio to grant exposure to the utility sector or a core holding for a buy and hold ETF portfolio.

This ETF slides nicley into the income allocation section and gives instant diversifacation among the top utilty companys.

Mild growth potential is icing on a very tasty cake for those with a time horizon of five or more years.

the market will go down a lot more, and VPU is an easy and safe place to park cash.

A low cost ETF of World utilities ; good in case of a downturn - people still need to pay the bills.
