Welcome to the 2018 ETF performance review.
It was a difficult year for a number of asset classes. The figure here shows that only a few ETFs had positive returns in 2018, using commission-free ETFs available from Fidelity. Based on broad indices for the stock, bond and cash asset classes, and including dividends, stocks lost 4.5%. Bonds barely broke even, returning 0.1% for the 2018 calendar year. The best performing broad market index was cash, which returned 1.7% for the year.
