S&P is also the index provider for big-name dividend ETFs, including the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: SDY) and the ProShares S&P 500 Aristocrats ETF (NYSEArca: NOBL).
Surging growth by mid-cap ETFs has also helped drive assets to S&P indexes. For example, the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (NYSEArca: IJH) and SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF (NYSEArca: MDY), which both track the S&P MidCap 400 Index, have hauled in $786.6 million and $695 million, respectively, in new assets this year. The S&P MidCap 400 was the best-performing U.S. equity index in May, gaining just over 1.6%. [The Lengthy Out-Performance of Mid-Cap ETFs]
Nearly $30 billion in assets are directly indexed to S&P DJI’s fixed income indices, according to the index provider.
