FYI: Below is a look at the performance of various asset classes through President's Day 2015 using key ETFs from our daily ETF Trends report available to Bespoke Premium members. For each ETF, we show its performance last week, so far in February, and so far in 2015. US-related ETFs are generally on the left side of the matrix, while international, commodity and fixed income ETFs are on the right side of the matrix.
US equities are up sharply so far in February, which has allowed them to erase January losses and move into the green for the year. The S&P 500 (SPY) and Dow 30 (DIA) ETFs are both up more than 5% in February, while the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is up 5.75%. Largecaps and midcaps are outperforming smallcaps year-to-date, while growth is outperforming value.
Regards,
Ted
