Listen to The ETF Store Show every Saturday at 4pm on KCMO Talk Radio 710AM as we cover everything you need to know about Exchange Traded Funds and the world of investing.
On our most recent radio show, we discussed the latest on the debt crisis in Europe and some ETFs with European exposure that may be impacted including VGK (Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF), EWG (iShares MSCI Germany Index ETF), EWQ (ishares MSCI France Index ETF), and EWI (ishares MSCI Italy Index ETF).
We also spent some time focusing on a timely, year-end topic – capital gain distributions. This is the time of the year where if you own mutual funds, you may be getting some bad news in the mail in the form of taxable capital gain distributions. With ETFs, in addition to typically being much cheaper and offering more investment options than actively managed mutual funds, they can also be much more tax efficient due to their minimal capital gain distributions.
Finally, we delved into some of your questions, including emerging market ETFs to consider and how easy it is to work with The ETF Store.
