Performance of ETFs In 2011

The folks over at Bespoke Investment Group  published last week a handy year end performance matrix for many of the major asset classes represented by their ETFs.  

They have put it together this way. "The left side of the table highlights all US based ETFs, which clearly outperformed the foreign ETFs shown in the top right corner of the table. The top performing ETF on the entire list was the 20-Year+ Treasury ETF (TLT) with a gain of 28.82% in 2011. The worst performing ETF was natural gas (UNG) with a decline of 46.09%."

A note:  We own many of the ETFs listed in this table in both client and personal accounts.  It would be too cumbersome for us to list every single security.  You can contact us if you would like to know whether we own certain issues at this time.
