DIA in Focus

The underlying Dow Jones Industrial Average comprises 30 blue-chip U.S. stocks. The product charges 16 bps in annual fees (see: all the Large Cap Value ETFs here).

Why the Move?

The large-cap segment of the U.S. stock market has been in focus lately, with the Dow Jones reaching a record high as investors rotated away from chipmakers amid declining oil prices. Additionally, robust bank earnings and compelling valuations in the financial sector helped drive gains in large-cap stocks.
