Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas recently released a book on ETFs, now referred to as the “ETF Bible” by some industry insiders. “The Institutional ETF Toolbox” seeks to help all investors better understand and utilize Exchange Traded Funds. We were honored that The ETF Store Show was featured in the book as an educational resource for ETF investors:
“The ETF Store Show – The ETF equivalent of NPR’s Car Talk. It’s hosted by an amiable group of investment advisors and is aimed at individual investors. The show is constantly comparing ETFs with mutual funds, breaking down industry jargon, and trumpeting the importance of asset allocation. This show features multiple hosts and guests and callers. This show is an oasis of simplicity in a jargon-filled complicated financial desert.”
Our goal is to continue helping educate all investors on ETFs and other important investment themes. So far this year, we have covered a wide range of topics and featured the following guests:
Wes Gray, CEO & Chief Investment Officer at Alpha Architect, spotlighted their new MomentumShares ETFs.
Michael Strain, Deputy Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, discussed the current state of the U.S. economy.
