Several utilities exchange-traded funds have done well over the last week despite the market drop, including the Reaves Utilities ETF.
Several consumer staples funds also fell less than the market, including the iShares Evolved U.S. Consumer Staples ETF.
Funds that track steadier stocks like the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF could also do well.

    Well, today didn’t exactly inspire confidence among us non-believers. Major indexes whip-sawed all over the place before ending considerably higher at the close.

    This week is a repeat of the decline in late January this year, exception that the situation is worse with higher interest rates, tariffs, and geopolitical risks. CDs, 2-years Treasury and (even) money market are more attractive options.
