HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS: The "timing scores" and "regime signals" displayed are based on quantitative models. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.
RISK OF LOSS: Trading in financial markets involves a high degree of risk and may result in the loss of your entire investment.

The ETFs with the highest year-to-date returns are listed above. YTD returns measure the total price change from December 31st of the previous year to the most recent trading day.
Year-to-date returns help investors identify which market segments and strategies are leading in the current year. Combined with our momentum factor, strong YTD performance can signal continued near-term strength.
Our YTD return figures reflect price returns. For funds with significant dividend yields (like bond ETFs), total return including dividends may differ from the price return shown here.
