Farewell, Mutual Funds Eventually, ETFs will be the industry standard.
Some 20 years after their 1993 debut, exchange-traded funds had become commonplace. However, several obstacles prevented them from supplanting mutual funds as the Main Street investment. ETFs lacked sales commissions, which limited their appeal to financial advisors. They were almost always passively managed stock portfolios. In addition, several ETFs had behaved erratically during the 2010 flash crash, which raised concerns about the group’s structural stability.

What Is an ETF?
Want the ease of stock trading, but diversification benefits of mutual funds? Take a look at exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which combine the best attributes of both assets.
An exchange-traded fund (ETF)Â is an investment fund that trades on an exchange, like a stock. ETFs are similar to mutual funds except ETF shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. Mutual funds trade only at market close.
ETFs offer the best attributes of two popular assets: They have the diversification benefits of mutual funds while mimicking the ease with which stocks are traded. Like any financial product, ETFs aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Evaluate them on their own merits, including management costs and commission fees (if any), how easily you can buy or sell them, and their investment quality.
ETF = Exchange-traded fund

Four Emerging Markets ETFs That Have It All: Value, Growth, Quality, Yield – Plus A Note On Alibaba (DEM, DGS)
Summary
- This article melds Dividend Ideas, Retirement, and Portfolio Strategy; it’s an in-depth look at four emerging market ETFs which combine value, growth, quality, and yield.
- I made the case for emerging markets in my previous article; this article discusses several EM portfolios, two small caps (one China, one diversified) and two large cap high-div ETFs.
- Important selection factors include sector allocation levels and country rankings; I prefer Asia and the MSCI index which includes Korea and reduces countries I don’t prefer. Mixed feelings on Russia.
- All four ETFs have great value: PEs under 10 (US 25), price-to-book of 1 (US 4), average dividend over 4%, growth better than anything in the developed world (including US).
- Emerging markets are about 60% of global GDP; their weight in the global equity index is 12.5-13%; their average weight in US portfolios is 3%. It’s called home-country bias. Does it make any sense?

ETFs: 5 Funds For Investing In Water, A Vital Resource (FIW)
Summary
- Water doesn’t typically get the same focus that I put on other utilities like electric and gas companies.
- Though, that doesn’t mean that investing in water ETFs doesn’t have its own merits; it certainly does as global demand rises, yet supply doesn’t go up.
- Several of the funds also fit into the ESG investing category that can provide further thematic investing momentum.

Are you missing out on mid-caps? Six reasons not to!
Mid-cap stocks are the middle child of the stock market. Stuck in that awkward adolescence phase, they’re not as cool as big brother (the S&P 500) but also not as cute as little sister (small-caps).
But do they also deserve to be ignored? (j/k, love you, little brother!) Research by S&P Dow Jones Indices found that from 2003 to 2018 the number of mid-cap mutual funds decreased while the number of large and small-cap funds increased. Yet mid-cap stocks had the best performance over that very time frame!
Mid-cap stocks are shares of companies with market capitalizations between $2-$10 billion, though definitions vary. These companies are large enough to be familiar but small enough for continued growth. From 1972 to 2020, mid-cap stocks beat large- and small-cap stocks by 1.45% and 0.30%, respectively. Mid-caps make up only 10% of the total US stock market. Therefore, to capture their superior returns you must tilt your portfolio.
Investors have historically gone the opposite direction by over-weighting small- and large-cap stocks while avoiding mid-caps. Failing to capitalize on the mid-cap segment of the stock market means you’re likely leaving returns on the table for me to scoop up! 😉

FPX: A Diversified Approach To IPO Investing
Summary
- FPX has benefited from strong momentum among high-growth IPO stocks in recent years.
- While FPX has outperformed the broader market with an impressive 45% return in 2020, the fund has trailed the competitor ‘IPO ETF’ which is more concentrated on smaller companies.
- We like the diversification of FPX which helps balance its risk and may ultimately prove to be the superior IPO investing strategy over the long-run.
