		<description>This a great guide to ETF Funds!

I definitely agree with you when you say:

&quot;As an investment, the greatest pro of ETFs is that charges are typically low, as running an index-tracking fund should be simple since  no investment research/stock-picking expertise is required.   Annual fees are typically in the region of 0.3-0.4% for an ETF, 0.6-0.8% for an index-tracking Mutual Fund, up to around 1.5% for an actively managed Mutual Fund.  But it’s debatable whether many ‘active-management’ outfits add value in the long term.&quot;

I also have an overview of ETF Funds that I think would be valuable to someone that would like to get a better understanding of the ETF Market.  
You can find it at http://financialplanneralliance.com/2008/06/etf-funds.html

If you would like to trade articles on etf funds please check out what I have to offer so far and maybe we could trade &#039;guest articles&#039; on each other&#039;s blogs.  Thanks again.</description>
