List of Transportation ETFs

Updated Dec 31, 2019
Transportation exchange-traded funds (ETF) are the securities that offer exposure to stocks of the companies that operate in the broader transportation sector. They include businesses which are operators of transporting people as well as goods.

Transportation ETF Investments

For instance, a truck operating company listed on a stock exchange will qualify for inclusion in the transportation sector, and a transportation ETF will likely consider it as a suitable investment. Such a truck operator may transport anything and everything within the permissible list of items. It may include, but may not be limited to, transporting general goods and materials, and/or offering transport of special goods - like frozen food, livestock, melted chocolate or dairy items like condensed milk. There may be specialist transport providers like those operating large special containers for transferring automobile, those carrying special items like medicine and drugs under certain specific temperature range and restricted conditions, or those operating ambulance services.
Rail or train companies, shipping companies and airline companies also qualify for transportation ETF investments. They may be in the business of carrying passengers, as well as carrying other goods. Few transportation ETFs may also consider investing in stocks of the companies that offer complimentary services around the transportation sector. For example, a bus operating company which is running airport shuttles may also be included for investment through transportation ETF, and an automobile maintenance company that takes contracts to maintain and repair a fleet of vehicles may also be an eligible candidate.
One can find speciality-focused transportation ETFs, like those focusing only on airlines or only on trains, others may be focused on companies working on new-age promising innovations like self-driving cars, or companies developing the technology that is used to operate such automatic vehicles. (See more, List of Airlines ETFs.)
There are leveraged ETFs in the transportation sector which aim to multiple the returns by a given factor (2x or 3x). While the choices are aplenty for investors, one must carefully note the stated investment objective of the ETF and ensure that it meets their desired investment preferences before investing in such ETFs.
Following is the list of all 6 exchange-traded funds that FKnol has in its database for ETFs which belong to the Transportation category:
