Investing.com | Sep 01, 2021 17:42
In August, US equity markets performed strongly, and the second half of the month brought new highs to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 as well as the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 index.
Today we review exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that were clear winners in August. Understandably, our list is not comprehensive and does not include leveraged and inverse ETFs.
A number of these funds could inspire readers to put together long-term diversified portfolios within their risk/return parameters. We've covered a large number of these funds previously, and we plan to discuss others in the future.
