Last week we reviewed the collective
performance of the 750+ equity ETFs as segmented by their respective market
sector. Today, we conduct a similar
review but this time by Geographic Region.
ETFG segments the ETF
Universe into 10 primary categories by Geographic Region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle
East & Africa, Latin America, Global, Global ex-US, Developed, Emerging and
Frontier Markets.
Obtaining a quick view of
how the various Regions have performed in the most recent month is very easy by
simply checking the ETFG
Heatmap. Let’s look at the performance of these geographic regions for the most
recent one month period:

The North America region led
the pack with a 3.27% trailing one month return, followed by Europe with a 2.02%
return and Developed Markets close behind at 1.69% for the most recent one
month period. In the most negative performance
territory were Emerging Markets (-3.29%) and Frontier
Markets (-4.25%).
By going to the ETFG
Heatmap, you can easily see both the performance and the Quant information for
all these regions. We calculate the
trailing 1 month return each day, aggregate them into various buckets by their
respective Asset Class, Region and Sector. As with most heatmaps, you can
quickly see the relative difference between categories by color and shade.
The key for the ETFG
Heatmap is located at the bottom of the page.
