ETF Scorecard - October 2nd Edition

Kiril NikolaevOct 02, 2015
2015-10-02

To help investors keep up with the markets, we present our ETF Scorecard. The Scorecard takes a step back and looks at how various asset classes across the globe are performing.

This week, U.S. equities remain volatile. China’s commodity demand worry investors. Health care stocks were hit significantly due to drug pricing regulation worries. Monday’s stock declines brought the market to lowest levels since the August sell-off.
