Here’s how Direxion ETFs can help you cut your losses and generate alpha. Take a closer look at the S&P 500 and key indicators from the first half of 2019.

Year-to-date, cyclical ETFs remain in the flow lead by over $1.37 billion even as both groups are now in outflows. Of course, this could change quickly.

Mixed results from data releases and corporate earnings have resulted in cautious optimism if you’re investing in ETFs, but the waters have muddied.

Both the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats and the S&P 500/MarketAxess Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index were designed to measure the performance of blue-chip, high-quality companies of the S&P 500.

The S&P 500 is a renowned benchmark for large-cap U.S. equities and is widely referenced as the gauge of U.S. equity performance. But what is the relevance of the U.S. market and the S&P 500 internationally?

The gold price weakness caused gold stocks to fall in August as the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDMNTR)2 and the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJTR)3 both declined 12.5%.

Gold is down only 8% this year, but it’s off almost 13% from its high. For some reason, it has lost its allure as a hedge to inflation and global turmoil.

As of August 14, the S&P 500 is up almost 6% year-to-date with the tech-heavy NASDAQ up almost 14%. And the NYSE FANG Index is still up 27% on the year.

In our outlook for second half of 2018, we have identified three key macro trends that will influence gold’s behaviour: positive but uneven global economic growth trade wars and their impact on currency rising inflation and an inverted yield curve. Combined with attractive entry levels, we believe that these trends will increase gold’s relevance for […]

Fixed-income factors are not as widely discussed as equity factors, but they are equally important in designing a target date portfolio in an attempt to improve participant outcomes.

Another common factor in fixed-income investing is credit exposure because investing in securities with an element of credit risk has historically generated positive risk premiums over time.

With the recent implementation of parts of the U.S. Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule, advisors are sharpening their pencils when it comes to performing due diligence on equity and fixed income holdings in their clients’ portfolios.

To gain an understanding of the latest changes in emerging markets—in particular those changes related to China, the largest emerging markets country—we spoke with Vanguard’s head of ETF Product Management, Rich Powers.

Investors often ask us which of the two main bond market risks they should focus on—interest rate or credit. Our answer? Both—and the way they interact with each other.

President Trump released a framework for his tax reform in late September.
