Smart Beta ETFs: The "Dream Diet" for Your Portfolio

By Salvatore Bruno via Iris.xyz

If you’ve ever gone on a weight-loss diet, you’re well acquainted with trying to balance the need for fewer calories with the desire for great taste. If your diet was (or is) a strict one, you probably found yourself dreaming about the day when, after reaching your goal, you could finally dig into a nice, juicy burger or that carton of Haagen Dazs once again—guilt free.

If only there was a dream diet that could do it all, delivering the right amount of calories each day to meet your goals, as well as great flavor to keep your taste buds happy too!

The good news is that, at least when it comes to your investment portfolio, that dream diet may be within reach with the help of Smart Beta ETFs.
