“As Chief Executive of an investment firm dealing in China and Asian emerging markets, I know it is valuable to have portfolios diversified outside of the United States. Although the United States is and will continue to be important, our clients need and demand global participation in their investing and trading needs. ETFs fill the need of having global exposure without having to spend time and resources researching individual companies. We find our services are more valuable teaching our clients how to use ETFs in their investing activities.”
--Robert Angle, President, White Pacific Securities

    It depends

    This would ne a great text book for a graduate school. If you don't have a degree in finance and money markets (I do) then this book is going to be a difficult read. But if you want to know all about the differing types of etf's then this is your book. How useful that information is to the average investor is questionable. But it would certainly be useful to asset managers with large portfolio's.
