April ETF Round-Up: More Losers Than Winners
By Investing.com (Tezcan Gecgil/Investing.com ) | May 02, 2022 17:20 April was a difficult month for Wall Street. Many stocks—and some indices—suffered their worst monthly performance since the pandemic first hit in March 2020. Numerous exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also tanked in value as major benchmarks reversed much of the gains.
Meanwhile, mixed corporate earnings could not soften investor worries, thereby failing to renew the bullish mood partly seen in March. Today, we review ETFs that were either clear winners or visible losers in April. Our list offers just a glimpse of numerous funds’ monthly performances and excludes leveraged and inverse ETFs.
Several of these funds could inspire readers to put together long-term diversified portfolios within their risk/return parameters. We've already covered a large number of these ETFs, and we plan to discuss others in the future.
