The Motley Fool – For all my interest in exchange traded funds I admit that I’ve come to them relatively recently — a mere 18 months ago.
Having said that, I was a swift convert to the concept and I’ve been using them increasingly. However, everything is relative when it comes to investing so it’s a good idea to step back from the investments you find most engrossing and compare them with other options.
The obvious alternative to ETFs is the open ended investment funds, for the comparable regulatory protection they offer but also for the far greater choice that’s available.
