But which are the best ETFs?
With an eye toward 2019, some of next year's best picks could be funds that were laggards this year, while other members of the best ETFs of 2019 class could be funds that were strong amid myriad macro challenges in 2018.
Of course, there are bound to be a slew of factors determining next year's winners.
Markets get the benefit of 2019 not being an election year, but the Federal Reserve is expected to continue hiking interest rates next year, potentially plaguing some beloved income-generating assets and sectors.
iShares U.S. Healthcare Providers ETF (IHF)
Expense Ratio: 0.43% per year, or $43 on a $10,000 investment.
Due in large part to the October swoon, the universe of non-leveraged, plain vanilla ETFs that are up at least 20% year-to-date is scantly populated.
Whether it is some tax-loss harvesting or standard portfolio adjustments, investors can tap exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for a variety of objectives in 2019 and beyond.
With another interest rate hike likely coming in December and possibly several more next year, it is not unreasonable to expect 2019 will be another trying year for traditional bond strategies.
The ProShares Investment Grade – Interest Rate Hedged (BATS:IGHG) could be one of the best ETFs to consider in the bond space next year.
