Monday, March 18, 4:57 AM Ron Rowland offers additional highlights on the recently expanded lineup of commission-free ETFs over at Fidelity including the following caveat: Funds not held for 30 days by retail investors or 60 days by RIAs using Fidelity as a custodian will be subject to a $7.95 per-trade commission. Some RIAs have complained that the longer holding period directed at them is unfair. Rowland spells out the full list of affected ETFs here. Comment!
Thursday, February 21, 4:26 PM State Street rolls out 2 low-volatility ETFs: SPDR Russell 1000 Low Volatility (LGLV) and SPDR Russell 2000 Low Volatility (SMLV). SMLV has an expense ratio of 0.25% while LGLV is the cheapest among peers at 0.20%. Competitors SPLV, IDLV, XMLV and XSLV charge 0.25% while EELV charges 0.29%. Demand for low volatility ETFs has picked up due to recent risk-adjusted outperformance vs. standard market cap weighted funds. Comment!
Thursday, August 26, 2010, 2:46 PM Smallcaps have significantly underperformed largecaps in August, as Josh Lipton points out. Largecaps are currently the better value at 13x 2010 estimates; Smallcaps trade at 19x 2010 P/Es. Dividends may offer another explanation for the shift to largecaps: SPDR Dow 30 ETF (DIA) yields 2.6% vs. 1% for iShares S&P Smallcap 600 (IJR). 5 Comments
