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.
Grantham just had an hour plus interview on Morningstar. Was very informative. As individuals we can not access their mutual funds. They appear to be building out their suite of ETF's with these 5 additions to QLTY. The upcoming emerging market …
3 of these ETF's are posted on my broker's website.
QLTI - GMO International Quality
GMOI - GMO International Value
