ETF, Holders, SPDRs,
PowerShares vs Select Sectors
The below references explain the advantages and weakness
of these trading entities.
On a personal note, I use the Select Sectors CCP ranking
to determine the best risk adjusted sector, then I
compare that sector with the corresponding ETF, Holder,
PowerShare, etc. and then invest in whatever has the
best performance.
Quite often, sectors like Brokerage have no counterpart
in Ishares etc. As a rule, Select Sectors perform very
well, but there are exceptions. Currently, Select
Utilities has greatly underperfomed both Ishares and
Holders Utility funds.
Presently I'm building a table that lists the available
Ishares, Holders and Power Shares sectors and compares
their performance. The first draft is located at:
