There are actually a number of them -- depends on how specific you want to be I see IYG was mentioned, there is also XLF (includes more than just banks I think) Go to the AMEX and PHLX and look at their sector funds here's one for regional banks: amex.com Here's another ( I think this one has a good mix) amex.com -- there are probably some mufus, too you can short I have had trouble borrowing shares for XLF and for IYG ... you could just assemble your own by picking 3 - 5 names -- that's probably be diverse enough
