Overview
Since their birth in 1993, exchange traded funds (ETFs) have
come a long way with a large variety of ETFs available for
investment today. Most ETFs define themselves by the asset
class they invest in, by their underlying securities or by their
investment style.
On the surface, ETFs that seem to invest in similar areas or
sectors of the market may appear almost identical, but they
can actually be very different due to alternative weighting
strategies and even in the ways they gain exposure to the
market areas they seek to access.
Since most ETFs track to an underlying index—either a
proprietary one or a third-party veteran or custom index—it
may seem as if ETFs’ investment objectives are self-explanatory.
But it’s also important to pop open the hood on an ETF, take
a good hard look inside and really understand precisely what
an ETF is investing in.
