Link: Cheaper isn’t always better for exchange-traded funds
Extract:
- Low cost: The less you pay, the more you keep
- Liquidity: You want an actively traded fund with a tight bid-ask spread so you can buy and sell at market prices
- Yield: With interest rates as low as they are, there’s intense interest in dividend income
- Total returns: Even income focused investors want to grow their money
- Diversification: Financial stocks dominate the dividend world, but your portfolio may already have plenty of exposure to this sector.
