Aug 21, 8:57 AM EDT |
|
| With not too many fixed-income ETFs on the market, Ameristock’s new products aim to bring competition and choice for investors. The concept behind the ETFs, which track a different index, includes the ability to play the yield curve, pure style, and limited expenses. The move is the next

Aug 20, 11:33 AM EDT |
|
| Back in 1995 the idea was to design a value fund that is suitable even for the most risk-averse investor.

The manager Nicholas Gerber relies on a bottom-up selection process and fundamental analysis to
hand-pick the right companies in the right industry dynamics. |

(PYMRX) Enhancing Index Returns
Aug 03, 10:25 AM EDT |
|
| Index funds have been praised for providing low-cost exposure and have gained popularity
due to the dismal performance of actively managed funds. The Payden Market Return Fund is neither of the above as it falls right in the middle. It aims for the return of the S&P 500 plus alpha, but with low volatility and tracking error. The interesting strategy of this fund is that it includes futures and bonds, although it remains an equity fund. |

Jul 27, 9:41 AM EDT |
|
| WisdomTree is the first company that manages ETFs based on indexes it creates and
owns. Luciano Siracusano believes that the standard capitalization-weighted indexes are
flawed in their tendency to overweight the overvalued stock, sectors, and regions. That’s why the company developed fundamentally weighted indexes to target better returns with lower volatility. |
