Are Exchange Traded Funds bettter than index funds? |
I have a Roth IRA If you are going to buy small amounts at a time, then mutual index funds are better deals because of the commissions involved with buying ETF's. However ETF's allow the ease of trading in and out at a moments notice, mutuals do not. I usually buy large lump sums of funds so I mostly use ETF's. Some funds are not offered as ETF's so I buy the fund, like Vanguard Specialized Health Care which has better performance than the Vanguard Health Care ETF. |
