Mid-Cap Blend ETF exchange-traded funds (ETF) are those ETFs which invest in the stocks and other financial securities of the companies which have market capitalization in the intermediate range and additionally follow a 'blended' strategy for selecting a basket of securities for investments. Companies having market cap which exceeds $2 but remains lower than $10 billion are considered Mid-Cap companies. (See the List of Mid-Cap ETFs.) While the following list contains only those blend ETFs which focus on the Mid-cap stocks and similar investments, there are other Blend ETFs (see list) which focus on other ranges of market capitalization. A huge range is available for investment as there are mid-cap blend ETFs that are sector specific - like those for building and construction, finance, infrastructure - or those which are focused on specific regions - like China, Europe or the U.S. - or those which are leveraged or inverse. Following is the list of all 69 exchange-traded funds that FKnol has in its database for ETFs which belong to the Mid-Cap Blend category:

Such mid-cap exchange-traded funds work by investing the capital in stocks of the mid-cap sector, that is, the companies whose market capitalization qualifies them to be called as mid-cap companies. Additionally, the pooled basket of eligible stocks can include stocks from a wide variety of sectors, hence the name 'blend'.
