DON'T BE GAMED BY THE NAME

摘要

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), especially those based on a loosely defined sector can get confused by how they are marketed and even named. They are made up of numerous components that may not be obvious by how they are described. It's become all too easy to compare an industry ETF to the broader market to have an instant story. The recent run-up in bank funds being a prime example, but another favorite topic in 2017 is whether coal miners, or more specifically, the VanEck Vectors Coal ETF (KOL), will prosper under President Donald Trump.
