ETF Definition Shared by Remonsy ETF Network

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Aug. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Remonsy ETF Network has created an article that provides an ETF definition for all those investors who are new to the concept and want a deep look at exchange traded funds.

“ETF Definition: The Newer and Improved Evolution of the Mutual Fund” (http://remonsy.com/daily/strategies-for-better-investing/etf-definition-the-newer-and-improved-evolution-of-the-mutual-fund/) begins by discussing the evolution of the ETF from looking at the mutual fund first. The mutual fund, being the precursor to the ETF, was developed in the early 1900s to allow investors in diversify their investments by getting exposure to a variety of stocks with a single transaction.

After decades, many investors started realizing that mutual funds weren’t performing as well as previously hoped. In fact, according to the article (http://remonsy.com/daily/strategies-for-better-investing/etf-definition-the-newer-and-improved-evolution-of-the-mutual-fund/) from Remonsy ETF Network, “By the mid 1970s, studies revealed that a vast majority of mutual fund managers were not beating the comparable index assigned to their fund.”

Due to this realization, John Bogle of Vanguard Funds decided to address the issue by making a mutual fund that didn’t have a manager. The index fund Bogle created would then buy the index stocks. Without a manager, the internal fees and trading costs became much lower.

Finally, in the early 1990s, the first ETF was created by State Street.
