FYI: After recently taking a look at the top-performing ETFs of the first quarter, it only makes sense to tell the other side of the story as well. There weren't too many exchange-traded funds with big declines during the period, but there were enough to make an interesting list.
Just as most of the top-performing ETFs of the quarter could be placed in two broad groups―inverse VIX products and single-country emerging market products―the same can be done for the worst-performers.
