ETFs Keep Getting More Popular
Here are the top 10 ETFs in size:
1. SPDRs Trust S&P 500 (SPY) $91.6 billion
2. iShares MSCI EAFE (EFA) $47.6 billion
3. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) $20.9 billion
4. Nasdaq 100 Trust (QQQQ) $19.9 billion
5. iShares S&P 500 (IVV) $17.8 billion
6. StreetTRACKS Gold Trust (GLD) $13.5 billion
7. iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) $13.5 billion
8. iShares Russell 1000 Growth (IWF) $12.7 billion
9. iShares MSCI Japan $11.2 billion (EWJ)
10. iShares Russell 1000 Value (IWD) $9.9 billion
Vanguard's VTI total market index would be #11 on the list. Note how big GLD has gotten in the last few years. I have no idea why the Japan sector ETF would be so big (#9). I assume it's because the Japanese economy had 1 good year last year and everyone thought that the country's economy would finally take off.Labels: etf
