FYI: Though there have been plenty of worries to go around, most investors should be pleased with their returns so far in 2019. With three quarters in the books, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is hanging on to a 17.8% return, on track for its best showing since 2017.
Other ETFs—many not even tied to the U.S. stock market—have done even better, with gains ranging from 34% to 115% for the top 15 ETFs of 2019.
