ETF Returns {Major Indices}


Above is a chart derived from the performance chart application over at Stockcharts.com.   It shows how some of the major market indices we cover performed in 2016.  The only market cap ETF missing on this chart is the Russell 2000 and according to Stockcharts.com's performance chart that index returned 21.59% in 2016.  An equal weighted investment held for the entire year comprised of all the stocks shown above plus that Russell Index would have averaged an 11.70% return.
