Investors who placed their hard-earned cash into major US indices have enjoyed respectable returns over the past five years. Despite a number of recent market corrections — the recent market correction generated by rising interest rates and the stock market crash of 2020, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust have returned 54%, 97% and 37.49% respectively.
As good as investors in the major U.S. indices have had it over the past five years, a number of the world’s most popular consumer discretionary, tech and clean energy manufacturing stocks have provided even better returns. Bulls that took a chance on these names were rewarded with gains that outperformed much of the broader market.
