Introducing Our New ETF Research

Hi folks.

Just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know that we've made some exciting enhancements to our ETF research. We've retooled our analyst reports, introduced a suite of innovative data points, and tweaked our coverage list to analyze more sector- and foreign ETFs.

You can find an overview of the changes at "Introducing Our New ETF Research".

I'd welcome any feedback you might have, though I'd also stress that this does not mark the end of the enhancements we'll be making to our ETF content. In the future you can expect a raft of new, and improved, tools for sifting through the ETF universe and making sense of the investment opportunities before you. But I hope you find our new analyst reports and other content useful in the meantime.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jeff Ptak

Hi Jeff,

I used the ETF valuation quickrank tool this last week, and I was impressed at the simplicity and reach of its potential.
However, I would like to bring out the fact that under foreign stock there is not a single Vanguard ETF.

I love Vanguard ETF's for several reasons:

First, they offer the greatest possible level of diversification based on an ETF's holdings. 
These vary from around 500 companies to over 2,000 for (VPL, VGK, VWO, VEU, and VEA).

Second, they offer one of the best country diversification allocation schemes (from 5 to over 40 countries).

Third, they offer a great level of liquidity (180,000 to over 1,000,000 shares on average each trading day). 
Net assets vary from about $800 million to over $6 billion dollars for these ETFs.
This provides markets where stable prices can be expected when buying or selling these ETFs.

Fourth, they offer the lowest expense ratio in each category where they participate (from 0.12% to 0.25%). 
This puts more money to work for me versus the competition since I don't have to pay so much for managing the ETFs.
The longer I keep the ETFs the more I save.

Finally, these ETFs are offered by one of the oldest, largest, more experienced, and more reputable investment companies in the market (Vanguard).

Best regards,

Eric
