Guggenheim Spin-Off ETF (NYSEArca: CSD)
2012: 26%
2013: Up 45%
Comment: Speaking of spin-offs, CSD is an ETF entirely dedicated to that concept. And it is one of the ETF’s on this list that has a long-standing history of outperforming the S&P 500, something CSD has done every year except for one dating back to 2007. CSD has also benefited this year from a bias toward small- and mid-cap names.
