Description:

This new edition of Exchange-Traded Funds For Dummies shows how Exchange-Traded Funds provide an easy way for investors to 'fill-in-the-blanks' in a portfolio. While many ETFs represent large portfolios of stocks or bonds, typically tracking major indexes, many others are more narrowly focused than traditional mutual funds. ETFs give investors access to markets or investment areas that might otherwise be restricted, too expensive, or highly risky to trade. Exchange-Traded Funds For Dummies, 2nd Edition gives readers the tools they need to make informed investments in the more than $1 trillion dollar ETF marketplace.
