The Exchange Traded Fund Alternative

Antioch, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2005

The earth under the investing landscape is shifting quickly. Buy and holding stocks and investments in traditional mutual funds are no longer providing the investment returns they once did. Many investors do not have the time or knowledge to be constantly buying and selling stocks on a short term basis. Exchange Traded funds provide a major alternative to mutual funds and index funds.

Exchange Traded Funds provide major advantages over Mutual Funds. Rather then being priced at the end of the day, their price is updated during the day like stocks. They can be bought and sold like stocks. Unlike Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds can also be shorted like stocks.

Their expense ratios are much lower then mutual funds, thus saving investors money. The numbers and types of exchange traded funds are constantly growing. You can invest in indexes, Gold and Silver, Energy, specific countries such as Mexico and Brazil, Bonds, and exchange traded funds made up of stocks that pay dividends. The list goes on.
