JETS follows the U.S. Global Jets Index, which uses fundamental screens to select airline companies, with an emphasis on domestic carriers, along with global aircraft manufacturers and airport companies. JETS notched an impressive post-election performance of its own, gaining nearly 7% last week.

Transportation stocks are part of the broader industrial sector.
