Editor's Notes
#7: ~ Comparing growth for ETFs and Mutual Funds; ETFs have enjoyed 7 straight years of $100 billion plus positive net inflows~ Mutual Fund growth has been unsteady over the same period with strong growth in 2007, the year before the financial crisis, followed by tempered growth and net negative flows for 3 of the 6 years that followed. Flows have stabilized during the last 3 4 quarters~ Much of the outflows have been a result of flows from short-term money market instruments as a result of historically low yields, the Reserve fund concerns and the unsettled regulatory environment
#10: ~ Turning to actively-managed ETFs, the market is still in its infancy with the first product not launching until 2008 the YYY from Bear Stearns~ The first several products and years provided little excitement with products from Bear Stearns, PowerShares and Grail raising minimal assets or excitement~ Entries by WisdomTree and PIMCO have begun to change the landscape with products including PIMCO BOND and MINT, as well as WisdomTree ELD~ Actively-manged ETFs still represent a very small component of the ETF market, with less than 1% of the assets ~ Out of the current 13 ETF managers with products, PIMCO and WisdomTree account for 85% of the $15 billion in AUM to date
#15: Illustrating the differences of Mutual Fund and ETFs. A mutual fund investor is sending cash directly to the mutual fund. The portfolio manager is putting the cash to work by purchasing securities as a part of the portfolio. When selling, the portfolio manager is selling securities to raise cash. This has the opportunity to create a capital gain in the portfolio, which is passed on to all of the investors of the fund. A mutual fund investor receives the end of day NAV for their purchase or sale.An ETF investor can purchase or sell shares throughout the exchange trading day. Buyers and sellers are matched to facilitate the order in the secondary market. Since the portfolio securities are not being bought or sold (remember the in kind process discussed earlier) capital gains from the portfolio are not being passed on to investors. Investors are subject to their personal capital gains or losses based on the appreciation or depreciation of the share price from purchase to redemption.
