What are ETFs?
Exchange-traded funds, also known as “ETFs” are low cost index mutual funds that trade like stocks.

Why ETFs?

For investors and leading financial advisors, ETFs have become an essential portfolio building tool for numerous reasons. Here’s just a few:
  • Lower Expenses: ETF expense ratios and other built in financial costs are consistently lower versus actively managed mutual funds.
  • Tax Efficiency: ETFs are renowned for their low portfolio turnover which generally translates into infrequent tax distributions.
  • Financial Flexibility: ETFs offer intraday liquidity, which means they can be bought or sold when the financial markets are open for business.
  • Consistent Market Performance: ETFs linked to major market indexes routinely outperform most of Wall Street’s actively managed funds.
  • Mass Appeal: Whether you’re a short term investor looking to hedge or a long term investor that wants to diversify, ETFs are powerful investment tools for all types of investors.
