In a summer marked by challenges for investors, several exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have notably performed well despite inflation and shifting interest rates. The Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (NYSE: HGER) has achieved a 35% year-to-date return, bolstered by a 5.2% dividend yield, by focusing on inflation-sensitive commodities like petroleum and gold. Additionally, the iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ: MCHI) has gained 8% since late June, benefiting from improved profitability in major tech firms such as Alibaba and Tencent Music, amid signs of a potential recovery in the Chinese stock market.

The VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (NASDAQ: VFLO) reports a 36% year-to-date gain, reflecting its strategy of holding large-cap U.S. stocks that generate strong free cash flow as companies navigate high interest rates. This fund has experienced a 13% return over the last month, attracting substantial investment with approximately $10 billion in managed assets despite a higher-than-average expense ratio of 0.39%.
