How It Works

The ETFdb 60 Index is an equal-weighted benchmark comprised of the largest ETF in each ETFdb Category, excluding inverse and leveraged ETFs. The Index gives an indication of the overall direction of the investable asset classes represented by this group of ETFs.

Whereas most benchmarks track the performance of a single asset class, the ETFdb 60 Index includes multiple asset classes, including equities, fixed income, commodities, real estate, and currencies, and therefore serves as an indication of changes in the total investable universe. At present, the ETFdb 60 Index includes 31 equity ETFs, 15 fixed income ETFs, 5 commodity ETFs, 2 real estate ETFs, and 7 miscellaneous ETFs.

The following presents a breakdown of the ETFdb 60 Index by asset class and issuer:
