ETFs – An Ideal Investment
In 2009, worldwide ETF holdings rose to $1 trillion, up from $771 billion in 2008. (Globe and Mail "ETF assets surge" January 22, 2010)
The rising popularity of this type of investment is largely due to the fact that ETFs can be freely traded like stocks, but they have the structure of a well-diversified mutual fund, making them much less risky.
Other benefits of investing in ETFs include:
- Transparency – ETFs must report holdings on a daily basis, so you're always aware of what you own and how much you're paying for it, unlike mutual funds.
- Flexibility – ETFs can be traded at any time when the exchange is open through any financial advisor or brokerage account.
- Tax efficiency – ETFs minimize distributions and have low portfolio turnover, so you're only taxed when you initiate a trade.
- ETFs have much lower management fees than actively managed mutual funds.
