Below is a snapshot of total returns across asset classes using key ETFs traded on US exchanges. For each ETF, we show its total return over the last 12 months, year-to-date through Q1, and in March.

In the US, smallcap ETFs as IJR and IWM lagged badly in March, and they’re only up slightly over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) was up nearly 4% in March and is up 13.2% over the last 12 months.

You’ll also notice that while most international equity market ETFs performed well in Q1, they’re still mostly down over the last year. Germany (EWG) is down more than any other asset class over the one-year time frame.

Below is a snapshot of US sector ETFs from our Trend Analyzer tool. The list is sorted by YTD performance from best to worst. Tech (XLK) led the way in Q1 with a price change of 19.39%. Real Estate (XLRE) ranked 2nd at +16.84%, followed closely by Industrials (XLI) at +16.49%. Financials (XLF) and Health Care (XLV) were the biggest laggards in Q1, but even these two sectors still gained more than 6%.
