ETF and Index Funds Summer 2011 Quarterly Report

ETF and Index Funds Report The Summer 2011 issue of Investor Economics’ ETF and Index Funds Report provides extensive coverage of the fast-growing exchange- traded fund (ETF) segment, and tracks the progress of index mutual and segregated funds. Our ETF analysis looks at the segment from a number of vantage points, including asset class, underlying investment, investment strategy and distribution channels. This report features updated information on the ETF holdings on the core retail platforms (full-service and online/discount brokerage), including rankings of the most popular ETFs for both Canadian- and U.S.-listed products held by Canadian retail clients. Meanwhile, the analytical views of the index fund segment include tracking of the mutual funds that “wrap” ETFs, a fairly new sub- category of index funds that make ETFs available to a wider audience of advisors who operate with an MFDA license and have no immediate access to the stock exchange. The Summer 2011 ETF and Index Funds Report is now available for subscriber download.
