ETFs are dead?

Dave Nadig, director of research and CIO at ETF Trends, ETF Database, told ETF Wrap that although the proposal, if it is realized would represent “a significant blow to the advantage ETFs have traditionally enjoyed vs. mutual funds,” he sees ETFs still maintaining a number of benefits.

Those benefits include “generally cost, flexibility and tradability, transparency,” wrote Nadig.

“So it’s hardly a ‘ETFs are dead’ situation. It just removes one particular advantage,”
