Good morning, investors. Stocks reversed early losses Wednesday as the GOP indicated it would push any possibility of a debt default into December. TODAY'S FEATURED ETF STORY 7 of the Best Performing ETFs in Q3 After a September that erased virtually all of the gains in the prior two months, many stocks ended the third quarter with a relatively humdrum performance. That's not the case with these seven exchange-traded funds. The following ETFs, all of which boast a specific industry or regional focus, generated returns ranging from 10% to 54% in the July through September period alone. Here's a look at seven of the best performing ETFs in Q3, from the lowest of the impressive returns to the highest: 1. iShares MSCI India ETF (ticker: INDA). The largest of several India-focused ETFs, INDA stands out because of its size and liquidity as well as a slightly lower annual expense ratio than its peers. But on the whole, all these funds have a very similar approach with a nation-specific strategy dependent on the fortunes of India. Turns out that in Q3, this was a great region to focus on for all of these funds because of short-term tailwinds and continued long-term growth. In fact, Goldman Sachs recently said that in three years it expects India's stock market to be fifth-largest in the world – ahead of France, the U.K. and Canada. Total assets: $6.4 billion Q3 performance: +10% 2. KraneShares Global Carbon ETF (KRBN). Benchmarked to the price of cap-and-trade carbon allowances, this KraneShares ETF offers investors exposure to an asset class that is increasingly important in the age of climate change and hedging emissions-related risks. Carbon credits represent one metric ton of carbon and can be earned by abstaining from environmentally harmful activities they might typically have to do in the course of their business; companies with vows to remain carbon neutral often have to buy them to offset their pollution. And thanks to recent dynamics, including tighter climate-related policies in Europe, carbon prices hit an all-time high in September.
