Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: One of the main reasons we often tout the idea that you should look closely under the hood of any ETF you choose within a segment is because differences in the makeup of a portfolio will lead to differences in total returns. Sometimes, however, those return differences aren’t quite apparent despite sizable portfolio tilts.
