WHICH ETF SHOULD I BUY?
With over 14,600 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) available globally1, the astute investor needs to conduct robust due diligence to understand the ETF they are investing in. Investors can (and should) focus on a variety of factors when selecting ETFs to help them achieve their desired investment objectives.
Selecting an ETF may be an overwhelming process. We believe it all starts with asking these five questions:
- Exposure: What is the ETF’s investment objective?
- Structure: What are the implications of the ETF’s structure?
- Performance: How should you evaluate the performance of an ETF?
- Domicile & taxes: How does the fund’s domicile affect the investor?
- Liquidity: What are the multiple layers of liquidity inherent to the ETF structure and how do you evaluate it?
