Exchange-Traded Funds: Challenging the Dominance of Mutual Funds? |
Launched in 1993, Exchange-Traded Funds or ETFs have become part of a number of retail and institutional portfolios. ETFs’ fee structure, tax efficiency, and increased level of transparency have made them popular with the investors. In addition, they provide accessibility for retail investors to invest in individual commodities such as oil or gold, thus challenging the dominance of open-ended mutual funds, the undisputed heavyweight of investment products.
The recent report by Deloitte Research, "Exchange-Traded Funds: Challenging the Dominance of Mutual Funds?" provides an introduction to ETFs, how they are formed, and a comparison between ETFs and Mutual Funds. The report focuses on:
- Proposed changes in ETFs’ regulations
- Future for ETFs
- ETFs’ challenge to the dominance of mutual funds in the coming years
With a 69 year head start, Mutual Funds are much larger than ETFs, and it’s unlikely that ETFs will beat Mutual Funds in terms of net assets in the near future. However, retail and institutional investors and advisors are ensuring that ETFs will be one of the fastest-growing investment products of the future. Download the report below to learn more.
