WisdomTree Reports 'Improved' Losses [view article]
You all do know that the CEO Jonathan Steinberg is the husband of CNBC's own Maria Bartiromo. They married many years ago when he sn affiliation with either a mutual fund or a financial magazine / publication that I don't recall. ReplyWisdomTree Reports 'Improved' Losses [view article]
George, I think the level of management talent they had to attract lead to higher operating expenses. At this stage of the business I would rather see the business spend on growth instead of focusing on profitability. It is encouraging to see operating expenses drop on a sequential quarter basis.Disclosure: Long WisdomTree. Reply

The main problem- Management/Advisor salaries are too high. This company is not being run for the shareholders. ReplyETF Watch: July 18–24 [view article]
Concerning Barclay's Target Risk Funds Filing:We have some concerns about "target" funds as a type due to their tendency toward one-size-fits-all solutions, which we feel are more suitable for the marketing needs of the sponsors than the financial needs of the investors.
Looking at the prospectus, we found a few not huge but yet puzzling allocations with between the four risk levels.

Wisdom Tree Going Straight? [view article]
You appear to have an emotional negative toward Wisdom tree. There are positive implications derived from the creation of these models but time will surely tell. Meanwhile - why so bitter? ReplyGeneral Discussion on WSDT.PK
What do you guys make of the rcent NYC pension announcement? Start of something big here or just an isolated contract.? Thanks ReplyETF Industry Data Summary: 1H'08 [view article]
I think it is great that more investors are investing in ETFs. I just shows that the market players are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of ETFs over Mutual Funds and individual stocks. I hope to see the numbers grow over the next few years. ReplyETF Industry Data Summary: 1H'08 [view article]
quick onceover suggests investors are getting more savvyin both diversification, including leveraged funds, bonds, etc
and intolerance to excessive costs (vanguard flies vs bgi, ssga, holdrs; or at fund level: e.g. vwo vs eem)
p.s. freudian slip?

ETFs Make Little Headway into 401(k) Plans [view article]
As one of the few if not only 100% ETF provider in the marketplace, ING Direct's ShareBuilder 401k leverages proprietary technology to manage the fractional share and transaction cost issues that only a few providers have figured out to date. While many providers focus on the need to facilitate intraday trading, the most important piece is providing broad-based, index approach to investing at the lowest expense. ETFs often are lower expense than index mutual funds. Cost matters and that cost difference provides real value to participants. Over time, ETFs will continue to make bigger and bigger footholds into 401(k) portfolios. ReplyWhy Have Most Investment Advisers Been Slow to Adopt ETFs? [view article]
Old codger RIA's who grew up on stock-picking eventually accepted no-load mutual funds as part of their strategies to mix in with individual stocks. ETF's are next.RIA's need to sell the fact that individual products like ETF's are the ingredients and the RIA is the one who makes the stew. Making the stew gets you a fee. There is differentiation when you mix in some individual stocks, with some well-chosen mutual funds & some ETF's. A client will see that unique mix and be willing to pay -- while sticking a client 100% into a global asset allocation ETF will not work for the advisor in terms of a fee.

Well, doesn't that confirm every bad suspicion you've ever had about RIA's? ReplyETF Top 10 Lists: Fastest Growing, Largest By Net Assets, Top Providers [view article]

The original idea of ETF's was for us average Joe's to invest in the indices, so we didn't have to mess with options and futures. Also, expenses were low. Now, with all these specialty ETF's, it's like mutual funds, if ya don't know what you're doing, you can lose your shirt. And these specialty ones are charging increasing expense fees.I'm going to stick with the tried and true ones that follow the indices.

BZF: the Fund intends to achieve exposure to Brazilian currency markets byinvesting primarily in short term U.S. money market securities and forward currency
contracts and swaps. The combination of U.S. money market securities with forward
currency contracts and currency swaps is designed to create a position economically
similar to a money market security denominated in Brazilian Real. A forward currency
contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at
the time of the contract. A currency swap is an agreement between two parties to
exchange one currency for another at a future rate.
