PowerShares also offers a fund in this space, PowerShares Dynamic Retail (NYSEArca: PMR). This approach is fundamentally/quantitatively based, as the index screens U.S. Retail equities for metrics such as fundamental growth, timeliness, and stock valuation for instance.
The ETF has rallied 13.57% year to date. Furthermore, for traders looking to leverage exposure to both the bullish and bearish side of the Russell 1000 Retail Index, Direxion Daily Retail Bear 3X (NYSEArca: RETS) and Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X (NYSEArca: RETL) are available and can be used by aggressive short term speculators and/or hedgers.
