The Dow Jones Industrial Average is home to just 30 stocks and is often criticized for its price-weighting methodology, but the blue-chip index remains one of the most closely watched equity gauges in the U.S. So with the Dow nearing the 20,000 level, it is not surprising that plenty of investors are paying attention.

The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEArca: DIA) is eyeing milestones of its own because 20,000 on the Dow would translate to a record high of $200 for DIA. Speculation that President-elect Donald Trump’s more U.S.-centric policies favored U.S. manufacturers and big factory employers, bolstering the Dow, which tracks big industrial names like General Electric (NYSE: GE) and Boeing (NYSE: BA).

DIA’s two largest sector components include industrials 19.8% and financials 17.8%, whereas the S&P 500 includes a hefty 20.6% in the tech sector, along with smaller 14.9% financials and 10.5% industrial weights.

DIA “has seen inflows of $1.04 billion over the past month, according to FactSet data, bringing total assets to $14.8 billion. Trading has also spiked; roughly 83 million shares traded in the fund over the month of November, up nearly 48% from the 56.2 million that traded throughout October,” reported Ryan Vlastelica for MarketWatch earlier this month.

The Dow is a price-weighted index, meaning the DIA members with the largest price tags are its biggest holdings. Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), 3M (NYSE: MMM) and International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) currently combine for over 20% of the ETF’s weight.

An alternative to DIA is the Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: DJD). That ETF weighs the 30 Dow stocks by yield.

DJD provides an alternative, strategic beta approach to the DJIA by weighting each security by dividend yield, instead of price. DJD’s top three holdings are Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT).

A rising rate environment may reflect a strengthening U.S. economy, and a healthier economy would help borrowers have an easier time repaying loans, with banks stuck with fewer non-performing assets. Moreover, rising rates means that banks will generate greater revenue from the spread between what they pay deposit savers and the prime rates they charge credit-worthy clients and other highly-rated debt.
