The Year Of The Dow: Why 2021 Will Finally See DIA Outperform

Let's Talk ETFs

In the decade-plus since the post-global financial crisis bull market rally began, the DJIA has been crushed by top U.S. index benchmark peers the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. The fact the Dow is "price weighted" has meant high-flying growth stocks have been left out of the index relative to value-oriented names in underperforming sectors like healthcare and financials. In today's episode of Let's Talk ETFs, WingCapital Investments' Vincent Yip and Seeking Alpha's Jonathan Liss discuss recent Dow outperformance - and why DIA's "weaknesses" have been transformed into strengths as investors rotate away from tech and growth.
