When To Invest In ETFs And When To Buy Mutual Funds
From the article: "The case for ETFs is pretty well known. It’s largely about costs, tradability, diversification and transparency." What advantage did the article miss?
But see Vanguard ETFs - lacking transparency (disclosures only every 30 days), lacking cost advantage (priced the same as retail Admiral shares), lacking superior diversification (being simply another share class of the same portfolio as their open end funds).
