ETFs with holdings in Nordstrom

Nordstrom (JWN) has been generating better results than its peers in the department store industry like Macy’s (M), Kohl’s (KSS), and Dillard’s (DDS). This article discusses ETFs with holdings in Nordstrom.

The First Trust Consumer Discretionary AlphaDEX Fund (FXD) has 1.26% holdings in Nordstrom. This fund possesses $1.73 billion AUM and a gross expense ratio of 0.70%.

The Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF (VCR) has $1.53 billion AUM and an expense ratio of 0.12%. The VCR ETF has 0.38% holdings in Nordstrom.

Over a five-year horizon, these ETFs have outperformed Nordstrom.

Nordstrom is also a component of several broad market ETFs like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500 Index. Other broad market ETFs include the iShares Dow Jones US ETF (IYY), the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV), and the iShares Russell 3000 Index (IWV). Plus, Nordstrom is part of the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT), which tracks the S&P Retail Select Industry Index.
