Re: There is nothing about UTES that would be considered a hedge. It might help lower beta of a growth portfolio

I agree! Utilities just hold up better during poor market conditions, they aren't expected to provide enough positive upside pricing to offset a market selloff.

The advantage is, that since it doesn't decline as much as the market, it helps the portfolio recover more quickly.
