ETF's offer a broad array of choices in the domestic and international indexes and sectors.

Domestic stocks:

• Styles – value, growth, blended

• Duration – short, intermediate, long

Major global Currencies and commodities

 

The choices above come in different weightings:

• Cap-weighted – the greater the market cap, the greater the allocation within an ETF
• Equal-weighted – all components within the ETF are equally allocated
• Dividend-weighted – the greater the amount of cash dividends a company pays, the

greater the allocation within an ETF – also a form of fundamental weighting

• Fundamental-weighted – rules based, quantified filtering that creates a group of

companies to compete specifically with traditional indexes

 

Some of the choices above come leveraged and directional:

• Leveraged – an ETF that magnifies the results of an index or sector. An example, a

2 beta S&P 500 will return close to 2% if the S&P 500 is up 1%.

• Inverse – an ETF that moves in the opposite direction of an index or sector. An example,

an inverse S&P 400 ETF will return close to 1% if the S&P 400 is down 1%.

• Leveraged Inverse - a combination of beta and inverse.
