Where did you get the idea?
Just happened to think of it.
If such an ETF were constructed well and priced fairly, would you invest in it?
Of course. It would help the economy. It would improve the liquidity of the ETF. Most importantly, it would create a value for the assets to get the ball rolling.
As far as ETFs in general go, many believe that after the markets rebound, investors will be looking for more transparent products like these. What’s your take on this, and will you be one of those investors, too, if you aren’t already?
Actually, I think it’s the other way around. The more uncertainty, the more transparent assets are in need. One of the problems with hedge funds in particular and many mutual funds, is that they are not liquid. In fact, many limit when you can get out. Which is going to make funds far less attractive. Well-designed ETFs can be a valid alternative for consumers.
