Broad Sector ETFs are available on all of the standard industry sector classifications and can give an investor immediate and diversified exposure to a sector they choose for their portfolio.  Sector ETFs are broad by their nature and most are well diversifed and hold many underlying company stocks from the representative sector.   A popular investment strategy with Sector ETFs is to follow the classic sector rotation investment strategy that will overweight certain key sectors within a portfolio depending upon which stage of the economic cycle the market is experiencing.  Here is a comprehensive list of sector ETFs available for etf investing:
