More ETF Winners Than Losers During October's Bull Run
Investing.com | Nov 01, 2021 20:46
October is a notorious month for market volatility and declines—the Wall Street crash of 1929, Black Monday on Oct. 19, 1987, and more recently, the 2008/2009 global financial crisis. This year, however, it has been a month of bullish moves. Although September’s choppiness initially extended into early October, the equity market bounced back into an uptrend thanks to mostly encouraging quarterly reports.
Today we review exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that were clear winners and losers in October. Understandably, our list provides just a glimpse on funds’ performances 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.
