tornwax | Are ETFs "safe" investments? |
I want to start retirement investing in ETFs, but I am very concerned that some of the organizations providing ETFs may go the way of Enron and sub prime mortgage lenders.
I am aware of the risks associated with market volatility, but not aware of the risks that may be associated with the organization providing the ETF.
Are certain ETFs more reputable than others, and how can one discern this from the prospectus? |

You bring up an intesting question that normally would not be considered. That is are the fund organizations sound? The normal assumption is that they are, but that could possibly be a mistaken assumption. Generally, the fund organizations provide management services and do not engage in speculation for their own account. At least that is the way it should be. Whether that is in fact the case may not be a correct assumption. It is sort of difficult to say.
In theory and only in theory if the sponsoring organization were to go belly up ones investment in the ETF should be safe more or less. Less because the assets might be frozen for an extended period of time while the wheels of justice grind slowly away trying to figure out what to do. That might not be an ideal situation to find oneself in especially in a collapsing market as we have been finding ourselves in.
Perhaps I might have to say that some might be more reputable than others. Vanguard has had a very good reputation. Perhaps their etfs might be considered a safer bet from the point of view of the sponsoring organization turning turtle.
But quite frankly I do not know. |

Hi,
I am so so on ETF's, especially for a new investor. I agree with the one poster who said look at Vanguard's- but I would rather you looked at Vanguard's Mutual funds.
ETF's are too easy to trade in and out of and that is not such a good thing for tracking funds. They should be held for the longer term. To see reviews on ETF's and Mutual Funds, check out www.moneyrec.com. Free to users.
Best to you.

ETF's just buy the stocks that make up the index - so you risk is the same as any other equity/stock investment - Enron was an individual company - you can't compare them to an ETF - totally different species/galaxy/dimension |

i my opinion you can do the same thing at a lower cost ( and avoid any of the risk you stated above) by buying the boring blues and holding for 10+ years for example
JNJ - Johnson and Johnson
CPB - Campbell Soup Co
BUD - Anheuser Busch
PG - Proctor and Gamble |

ETFs are essentially just mutual funds, traded like a stock on the stock market.
I wouldn't worry about the actual ETF company going broke. They charge small fees to run the ETF. Of course your ETF is only as good as the individual stocks it holds. If those start tanking, your ETF will tank as well. |

ETF's are not safe
They are just buying an index of stocks, usually in specific sectors, or single things like gold or silver.
They are like most other equity investments, some are less volitile than others but they all have risk. |

ETFs are more flexible than mutual funds. They can be purchased and sold through your broker without any conditions on the trading day, like a normal stock. This offers investors lot of flexibility as against mutual fund investors, who cannot carry out transactions during market hours.
ETFs let you tailor your portfolio than possible with passively managed mutual funds. There are more than 150 ETFs offered by various institutions. These ETFs concentrate on various types of market sectors, from bonds to technology. This allows investors to customize their choices to get a required portfolio balance, so that you can concentrate on specific sectors while avoiding others, based on the market conditions.
