IPOX® INDEXES PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The IPOX® Indexes traded mixed last week. While China-strength and firm Europe propelled the IPOX® International (ETF: FPX) to a third consecutive week of gains, renewed declines in U.S. bonds amid a strong U.S. unemployment report, a firmer U.S. dollar and mixed corporate earnings pressured the IPOX® 100 U.S. (ETF: FPX) towards the week-end, with both funds performing in line with the benchmarks on a weekly basis. The M&A-focused IPOX® GNDX (GNDX) declined by -0.97% to -5.08% YTD, outperforming the S&P 500 (SPX) and other key U.S. benchmarks for another week.
