Speaking of income opportunities, dividend ETFs remain popular as the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEArca: VIG), PowerShares S&P 500 High Dividend Portfolio (NYSEArca: SPHD) and the iShares Select Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: DVY) all make appearances among the 15 most searched ETFs.
The Global X FTSE Portugal 20 ETF (NYSEArca: PGAL) was this week’s most searched global ETF, which is not surprising given its 6.6% tumble on the week.
