"Year’s Most Popular U.S. Stock ETF Follows the 120-Year-Old Dow"

"Who says professional investors don’t give a hoot about the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

As major U.S. stock benchmarks hit all-time highs the dusty old Dow has taken on a new relevance to investors. No U.S. stock exchange-traded fund has pulled in more money in 2017 than the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF, ticker DIA.

That ETF, which follows a quirky mix of 30 big-cap U.S. stocks, has pulled in some $2.6 billion in new assets, more than the $2.4 billion that has gone into the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, according to data firm XTF. Among all ETFs, the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets has grabbed the most with $2.7 billion in new money."
