Monday, August 13, 2012 Barron's Weighs In on the ETF War A Barron's article from this weekend weighs in on the latest round of what writer Beverly Goodman calls the "inane-but-ever-present 'ETF versus mutual fund' debate." Goodman says that even with a few recent ETF shutdowns and more to possibly come, ETFs are not on the verge of extinction. The article focuses some attention on Pimco's [profile] Total Return ETF, noting that the difference maker on that $2.5 billion fund is the same as it always is with Pimco: Bill Gross. "Pimco is a great example that if you're going to be late to the game, you have to bring something very different to the table," said Michael Johnston, co-founder and CEO of ETF Database, to Barron's. "They brought Bill Gross to the table. No other firm can do that." Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=40916 Copyright 2012, InvestmentWires, Inc. All Rights Reserved |
