Looking Forward: A Glance Into 2015’s ETF Landscape

Barring a dramatic December downturn, the major US indices are on pace for another year of double digit growth. 2014 has had its shares of growing pains, including a gloomy Q1 where the economy slightly contracted and a precipitous drop during late September and early October. Despite these downturns, 2014 will mark the 6th year of the current bull market. Since the 2008 low of 666, the S&P 500 has climbed well above 2000 and has closed at 44 record highs in 2014. Considering that the current bull market is the 4th longest ever in length and the 6th highest in terms of percent gained, is 2015 the year the tide turns? The macro economic data does not seem to think so with unemployment, corporate profits, and GDP figures all heading in the right direction. Here are some trends to look for in 2015 and the ETFs that will benefit from these economic scenarios.
