Comments on: The Active Lifestyle (With ETFs) http://www.etftrends.com/2007/08/the-active-life.html Keeping a grip on exchange traded funds (ETFs) Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:28:06 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: James http://www.etftrends.com/2007/08/the-active-life.html/comment-page-1/#comment-397 James Wed, 22 Aug 2007 03:07:50 +0000 http://etftrends.com.s14057.gridserver.com/2007/08/the-active-lifestyle-with-etfs.html#comment-397 As ETFs become more available in all asset classes including commodities, real estates and others they will provide efficient vehicles for asset allocation and diversification by sectors and is the way to the future. They also make top-down investment approach more feasible and minimise non-systemic risks, even more so when most of the performance in equity returns are attributable to market and sectoral movements. For the above reasons I would be very interested provided the investment strategy is sound and costs are not prohibitive as in active mutual funds.
