Conventional wisdom has become that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are “better” than traditional mutual funds, and that “smart-beta” funds are the highest evolution of the ETF. It’s why traditional funds have been abandoned by a lot of ordinary investors who question whether they remain an effective financial tool. This session will help you sort the truth from the fiction, the reality from the marketing hype and challenge conventional wisdom to help you decide if what you own—and what you are looking at—is really right for you and capable of reaching your goals.
Attend this meeting and learn
- How traditional funds and ETFs can work together in a portfolio.
- What smart-beta funds are, and whether they truly are smarter.
- What “stupid alpha” is and whether they personify it.
