Chuck Roberts has served as Managing Director/Investments at Stifel’s New York City branch since early 2016. Serving ultra-high net worth clients, Chuck Roberts draws on in-depth knowledge of a broad array of products, including exchange traded funds (ETF).
ETFs are most simply described as a basket of securities that prices throughout the day and trades on a public exchange, like stocks. ETFs are versatile trading and investment vehicles in that they can be used to help pursue a broad array of investment objectives.
Launched in the early 1990s primarily for institutional investors, ETFs have become increasingly popular in that most feature low internal expenses, provide more transparency to the investor, and can be used as tax-efficient investment vehicles when incorporated into a buy-and-hold strategy.
ETFs have opened the doors to many asset classes and strategies. It is important to consult with your financial advisor to determine which ETFs may be suited to your individual situation.
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal, and may trade for less than their net asset value. ETFs trade like a stock, and there will be brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling exchange traded funds unless trading occurs in a fee-based account. Investors should consider an ETF’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other important information, is available from your Financial Advisor and should be read carefully before investing.
