Good Day everyone and welcome to another investing video on Moementum Finance channel.

Today, we'll review top 5 ETFs to invest in the US Dow Jones Index.
[10]
We'll compare the ETF costs, number of holdings, dividend yield, and past returns and provide
[16]
you with succinct information to be able to make an informed investing decision.
[21]
Of the ETFs we'll review, 4 of them are traded in US Dollars, but one is in Canadian Dollars.
[28]
Dow Jones, or more precisely, Dow Jones & Company, is one of the world's largest business and
[33]
financial news companies.
[35]
Besides the famous Dow Jones Industrial Average, the company also created various other market
[39]
averages.
[40]
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a stock market index that tracks the performance of
[43]
30 large companies listed on stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq
[49]
in the United States.
[50]
These companies, which are also known as blue chip companies, include American Express,
[56]
Microsoft, and Boeing.
[57]
They tend to include companies with a long, proven history of regular earnings and financial
[62]
stability.
[63]
So a Dow Jones ETF simply includes fractional shares of these 30 companies, in the same
[68]
way that they’re distributed in the Dow Jones.
[71]
And if the Dow Jones rises, so does the value of the ETF.
[75]
Similarly, if the Dow Jones starts falling, so does the ETF.

[91]
Alright, back to the topic of this video, here are the 5 ETFs that I'd recommend to
[95]
invest in the United State Dow Jones Index.
[98]
We'll review each of them more closely and compare their pros and cons in the next few
[102]
minutes.
[103]
Let's get into it!
[104]
The first ETF to review is SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF with ticker symbol
[108]
DIA.
[111]
The SPDR (also known as DIA) is the biggest and probably the most popular of the Dow Jones
[115]
ETFs, with over $30 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM).
[120]
It also has an annual expense ratio of 0.16%, which makes it an appealing choice to investors
[125]
on a budget who still want a piece of the otherwise quite expensive Dow Jones pie.
[130]
The fee of 0.16% means if you had invested $10,000 you'll pay a fee of $16 in a year.
[137]
Because the Dow Jones consists of companies that usually pay dividends to investors, so
[142]
does the DIA—but in comparison to other ETFS, this one distributes dividends on a
[147]
monthly basis.
[148]
It’s been around since 1998 and has a proven history of tracking the Dow accurately, if
[153]
that’s precisely what you’re after.
[156]
Currently, the ETF has a dividend yield of 1.03%.
[160]
DIA tracks a price-weighted index of 30 large-cap US stocks, selected by the editors of the
[167]
Wall Street Journal and has 32 holdings.
[169]
This ETF is showing a 5-year cumulative return of 92%
[175]
The second ETF to review is iShares Dow Jones US ETF with ticker symbol IYY.
[180]
It is another large Dow Jones ETF which aims to track the investment results of the Dow
[185]
Jones index composed of U.S. equities.
[188]
This offers exposure to both larger and mid-size U.S. companies, and currently has $1.66 billion
[194]
in AUM.
[196]
Furthermore, with an annual expense ratio of 0.20%, it’s still quite a budget-friendly
[202]
choice for investors.
[203]
Currently, the ETF has a dividend yield of 1.12%.
[206]
IYY tracks a broad, cap-weighted index of US companies covering 95% of the U.S. market.
[212]
This ETF is showing a 5-year cumulative return of 106%.
[216]
The next ETF to review is ProShares UltraPro Dow30 with ticker symbol UDOW.
[224]
UDOW is an ETF for investors who like to lean more heavily on the “more risk, more reward”
[228]
principle.
[229]
The fund seeks daily investment returns that correspond to three times the daily performance
[234]
of the Dow Jones.
[235]
UDOW is a so-called leveraged ETF, which means that it trades multiple times throughout the
[240]
day.
[241]
By doing this, the aim is to increase the exposure to and impact from the underlying
[246]
index—which in this case is the Dow Jones—and hope to take advantage of the changing prices
[251]
of the fund throughout the trading day.
[253]
Of course, this is also associated with more risk.
[255]
That’s why financial advisors usually suggest to not hold on to leveraged ETFs for too long,
[261]
which also makes its relatively high annual expense ratio (0.95%) more of an issue.
[268]
UDOW current has $1 Billion in AUM, and has dividend yield of 0.13%.
[273]
This ETF is showing a 5-year cumulative return of 317%
[279]
The fourth ETF to review is Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF with ticker
[284]
symbol DJD.
[285]
DJD is a bit different than the other ETFs on this list because instead of tracking (or
[292]
trying to beat) the Dow Jones directly, it follows the Dow Jones Industrial Average Yield
[296]
Weighted Index, which selects the securities that have paid a dividend over the past four
[301]
quarters from the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
[304]
So rather than weighing holdings by price, the underlying index ranks them by dividend
[309]
yield.
[310]
Investors might choose this option because it holds the possibility of a higher portfolio
[311]
yield, but these investors should also keep in mind that the pool of assets the Dow Jones
[312]
is based on is already quite small to begin with—so diversification might be taking
[313]
a backseat in this approach.
[314]
DJD currently has 27 holdings and has a dividend yield of 3%.
[315]
This ETF is relatively small compared to the others with only about $165 million assets
[320]
under management, but has a low expense ratio of 0.07%.
[324]
This ETF is showing a 5-year cumulative return of 62%
[328]
Lastly, the fifth ETF to review is one in Canadian Dollars: BMO Dow Jones Industrial
[335]
Average Hedged to CAD Index ETF with ticker symbol ZDJ.
[340]
ZDJ has 31 holdings and pays a quarterly dividend distribution currently yielding 1.51%.
[346]
This ETF charges a fee of 0.26% which means if you had invested $10,000 you'll pay a fee
[353]
of $26 in a year.
[355]
This ETF is showing a 5-year cumulative return of 80%.
[359]
All these ETFs can be traded through popular brokerage accounts.
