Product Description
Product Description
Exchange traded funds or ETFs continued their increasing popularity in 2009 relative to other investment vehicles such as unit trusts or investment trusts. According to Barclays Global Investors (BGI), at the end of October 2008 European ETF assets (the assets of European-domiciled ETFs) totalled $126bn, invested across a total of approximately 590 different funds. In North America, where ETFs are more established than in Europe, overall ETFs enjoyed net inflows in September, October and November 2008 despite plummeting equities and turmoil in the markets. In the EU the range of different types of ETF available has now reached the point where investors can consider putting together a portfolio of investments built entirely of ETFs. Slightly over 200 new European ETFs were launched in the course of 2008, so, as they come of age, now is an excellent time to examine these funds in more detail. This guide will look at how exchange traded funds are put together, how they are regulated and the variety of asset classes they cover. The aim is to give the private investor a truly useful aide to investing in ETFs, including details about the practicalities, information about the main ETF issuers and advice about using them to move into less familiar types of investment such as commodities or fixed income. No look at ETFs would be complete without some examination of the indices that they follow. "An Introduction to ETFs" is a comprehensive and practical guide, ideal for any investor interested in exchange traded funds.
