Overview: Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have become the hot topic in the passive management community. Any product that can capitalize on the tremendous success that index products have enjoyed, in both the retail and institutional markets, is sure to gain market attention. ETFs are commingled investment products that are typically structured as unit investment trusts, mutual funds, structured products, and more recently as depository receipts. The common characteristics of all ETFs: listed and traded continuously on an exchange, structured, as index-linked products, contributions, and redemptions are limited to in-specie baskets. The recent explosion in interest in ETFs can be explained in part by the retail investor's increased understanding of its inherent advantages relative to traditional mutual funds. To the extent that successful products continue to be launched, small investors will have a growing array of cheap, flexible and tax efficient products to invest in and to manage their risk exposures.
