Big earnings and receding U.S. election uncertainty drive IPOX Indexes to massive gains. IPOX ETFs hit fresh all-time Highs. In what we interpret as one of the most powerful up moves in its history, the IPOX Indexes soared during U.S. presidential election week, even outperforming the surging benchmarks. Gains were broad-based and – most notably – extended across global regions with all IPOX-linked ETFs closing the trading week at fresh all-time Highs. Outperformance was driven by explosive gains in IPOX portfolio holdings generally untracked in the benchmarks. In the U.S., e.g., the broad-based, FANG-free IPOX 100 U.S., underlying for the $1.7 billion “FPX” ETF, added +12.93% to +34.33% YTD, propelling the index to the top of the weekly U.S. equity indexes performance rankings.

IPOX 100 U.S. ETF (FPX) finishes week at fresh all-time High:
non-U.S. domiciled exposure with the IPOX International, tracked by the $0.5 billion “FPXI” ETF, surging by +10.47% to +54.83% YTD, while the IPOX 100 Europe (ETF: FPXE), composed of unique European growth firms trading in Europe and the U.S., added +10.99% to +23.06% YTD. Just 12 of 229 unique portfolio holdings in the IPOX ETFs fell last week with “off-white” owner shopping platform operator London-based Farfetch (FTCH US: +51.01%), online marketing solutions provider The Trade Desk (TTD US: +44.64%), business and cash management software maker Appian (APPN US: +43.10%), medical devices maker Inspire Medical (INSP US: +40.66%) and ride hailing services provider UBER (UBER US: +34.30%) amongst its biggest winners. Infrastructure software maker 09/2019 IPO Ping Identify (PING US: -16.79%) plunged after reporting disappointing quarterly earnings.
