Amazon's Description:

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become in their 25-year history one of the fastest growing segments of the investment management business. These funds provide liquid access to virtually every financial market and allow large and small investors to build institutional-caliber portfolios. Yet, their management fees are significantly lower than those typical of mutual funds. High levels of transparency in ETFs for holdings and investment strategy help investors evaluate an ETF’s potential returns and risks. This book covers the evolution of ETFs as products and in their uses in investment strategies. It details how ETFs work, their unique investment and trading features, their regulatory structure, how they are used in tactical and strategic portfolio management in a broad range of asset classes, and how to evaluate them individually.

eBook is free at time of posting. Please check price before buying.

    You mean content-wise? Yes, plenty of ETFs available on the ASX.

    Insofar as it's a one page introduction to what this book is apparently a comprehensive guide to… Yes.

    Please quit your career as a financial advisor.
    ETFs are a lot more complicated than that, in fact they all target different markets from fixed interest to property to full overseas shares and have different goals such as share growth or dividend yield for example.
    Ensuring you understand the investment mix and fund goal is infinitely more important than simply buying low and selling high as you may do with highly volatile shares.

      Wait so you are saying buy high and sell low with ETF?

        buy high

        Only the definition of 'high' is the same as a Cheech & Chong…

    The idea is not exactly to day trade ETF's. As I understand it, they are typically mid-long term investments that are going to consistently generate a profit, even more so over a longer term, even if there are some periods where they lose value (same as growth / higher risk options in super annuation for example). You don't really want to jump ship when they are losing a few cents.

      Exactly! For some people their aims to sell do not directly correlate with the percentage change of the share of their initial investment either. Some may withdraw when they want to buy assets (house/car/etc), retire or change investment strategy as their situation changes./
      Since the book is free you might want to give it a read! :D
