What happened
The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA:DIA) tracks a price-weighted index composed of 30 stocks. The committee responsible for selecting this index includes representatives from The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones Indexes research, and CME Group research. As of October 1, 2026, the Financials sector made up 26.30% of the fund, the largest sector exposure.

Why it matters
In a price-weighted index, a company's weight is determined by its stock price, not its business size. Due to this structure, high-priced stocks can disproportionately increase a sector's overall fund exposure. For example, Goldman Sachs accounted for 10% of the fund due to its high share price.
