Overview

KBW has the most widely quoted bank index in the country (BKX).

The KBW Nasdaq family of indexes and KBW Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) provide investors with a method to track the performance of the banking, broker-dealer, asset management, insurance, fintech, and equity REITs sectors within the financial services industry.

Our indexes include publicly-traded companies, and the components are generally chosen on the basis of relevance to the particular market sector and various trading criteria. Our ETFs are based on a specific index and track the performance of that index by holding in its portfolio either the securities replicating the index or a representative sample of the securities in the index. The table below shows the KBW Nasdaq family of indexes and ETFs. Click on an index or ETF symbol below for additional information.

KBW and Nasdaq maintain and publish analyses on the KBW Nasdaq family of indexes. These indexes are intended to provide industry benchmarks for the specific sectors within the financial industry.

The KBW Nasdaq family of indexes currently includes one global financial index and eight U.S. financial sector indexes. The financial sector indexes serve as the basis for a family of ETFs through our partnership with INVESCO. From time to time, our trading desk may act as a market maker in these ETFs.
