Play Surging U.S. Manufacturing with These Industrial ETFs - ETF News And Commentary
17 December 2013 - 12:00AM
Zacks
With the economy seeing broad strength, many cyclical sectors are
roaring higher. In particular, the manufacturing segment is
experiencing plenty of success lately, and some more portfolio
exposure to this segment could be warranted.
This is especially true given the solid data that investors have
seen in this space over the past few months. For example, the ISM
Manufacturing Index hit 57.3, its highest level since April 2011,
while Market’s U.S. manufacturing PMI is now at a 10 month high,
suggesting that the space is running on all cylinders (see all
the Industrial ETFs here).
How to Play
There are a few ways for investors to tap into this trend in broad
form by using industrial ETFs. These funds give investors exposure
to a variety of companies across the space and thus might be lower
risk ways to play the solid trend in the space.
In particular, the
iShares US Industrials ETF
(IYJ) and the
PowerShares Dynamic Industrials ETF
(PRN) could be interesting selections. Both have surged
more than 30% in the past one year, but still have Zacks ETF Ranks
#2 (Buy), so they could continue to see strength in the months
ahead as well (see all the Top Ranked ETFs here).
