	Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
		ETFs that do not deliver a prospectus are required to give investors a document known as a Product Description, which summarizes key information about the ETF and explains how to obtain a prospectus.
		An ETF will have annual operating expenses and may also impose certain shareholders fees that are disclosed in the prospectus.
		Such an ETF is similar to an index fund in that it will primarily invest in the securities of companies that are included in a selected market index.

	Exchange Traded Funds \| Invest in ETFs \| ETF Investing

		The big "tax event" for ETF shareholders happens when you sell your shares, hopefully at a profit, after which you'll pay capital gains taxes.
		Annual expenses for ETFs range between 0.1% and 0.65% and are deducted from dividends.

	The incredible ETF
		ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), have already become extremely popular investment vehicles in developed markets, though back home they are yet to make any tangible headway.
		Compared to this, the five home-grown index-based ETFs delivered an average return of 35.35 per cent for year ended March 16, 2006, though actively managed funds in the country have fared far better with an average return of 43.31 per cent during the same period.
		While the average daily volume for the top 10 active ETFs in the US was about 2.73 crore (27.3 million) units in the last three months, the average daily traded volume in India has been a measly 18,000 units during the whole of last year.

	A Guide to Exchange-Traded Funds
		ETFs originate with a fund sponsor, which sets the ETF's investment objective, determines which securities will be included in the "basket" of securities, and decides how many retail ETF shares will be offered to investors.
		ETFs and index mutual funds are similar in that they typically seek to match the return of a market index and both are good choices for investors with a long-term investment strategy.
		ETFs tracking a bond index are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that changes in interest rates will lower the price of bonds and reduce the value of an ETF's portfolio.

		ETFs are designed to generally replicate the holdings and correspond to the performance and yield of their underlying index.
		ETFs are priced and traded throughout the day, and are not restricted to once-a-day trading at the end of the day.
		ETFs have only been around since 1993 with the launching of the SPDR or "Spider," which are the Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts (AMEX: SPY) that track the S&P 500 index just like any S&P 500 index mutual fund.

	ETF Definition
		ETFs always bundle together the securities that are in an index; they never track actively managed mutual fund portfolios (because most actively managed funds only disclose their holdings a few times a year, so the ETF would not know when to adjust its holdings most of the time).
		Because ETFs are traded on stock exchanges, they can be bought and sold at any time during the day (unlike most mutual funds).
		On the plus side, ETFs are more tax-efficient than normal mutual funds, and since they track indexes they have very low operating and transaction costs associated with them.

	ETF Drift - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The inspiring concept that launched an era of exchange-traded funds was to provide the investor with a market rate of return that did not depend on luck or the selection skills or other motivational factors of an open-end mutual fund portfolio manager.
		Keep in mind that many of these ETFs are created as a hedging vehicle for fund investors who want to instantly rebalance their risk perceptions without wholesale liquidations or re-deployment of their portfolio of investments.
		The lesson to take away from this reading is that ETFs have become a supermarket of choices with a wide range of risks.

	ETF Overload
		The proliferation of ETFs has gotten so out of control that I would not be surprised to see an ETF of all ETFs.
		The ETF has become the ultimate all-eggs-in-one-basket philosophy coupled with a false sense of security that comes with grouping all sorts of stocks together with a common theme that is predictive of absolutely nothing.
		The only ETF worth owning is one that is an index fund to a big index for diversification, and if want that I would go with Vanguard's mutual funds: low fees, good execution.

		Individual ETFs, which resemble index-oriented mutual funds but trade on exchanges like equities, have taken long to clear SEC regulatory hurdles because their hybrid nature does not neatly fit existing regulatory protocols.
