Generally, it depends on diversification level and type but usually, the broader the sector allocation, the less risk can be expected from holding Consumer Mutual Fund, and the less return is expected.
Institutional investors that are interested in enforcing a sector tilt in their portfolio can use exchange-traded funds, such as Consumer Staples Portfolio Mutual Fund, as a low-cost alternative to building a custom portfolio.
