Today I'll finish, as I said in the last post, the 'ETFs' sub-button. we stopped at the 'Yahoo! Finance ETF Browser by Risk', where we partly described the meaning of the Beta parameter in the financial terms. Take your time check this last post. Back to the reviewing part. As a continue, the next source is 'MSN Money ETF Performance Tracker', which delivers a list of ETFs based on its market price performance. In addition, the list attaches to each ETF the score (grade) of it by MorningStar. If you want, it is possible to reduce the amount of ETFs in the list by preferring a fund family or a category which the ETF aims to. The best pro of this source's list is that it gives you, for each ETF, the performance of it for several periods, (1-Wk, 4-Wks, 13-Wks, YTD, 52-Wks, 3-Yrs and 5-Yrs), something that really shorten the time to check historical performances. 'ETFConnect Find A Fund' gives a kind of special searching ability. It's not like it gives different list of ETFs but more like better (or different) sorting ability. Parameters like Asset Classes (Fixed Income, Equity, Other
s), Taxable/ Municipal or All, Fund Sponsor, Premium/ Discount (in a NAV point of view, meaning, is the ETF reflects a premium or a discount concerning the base assets. Very important in order to understand where the ETF is heading to). It is also possible to review ETFs that are leveraged or not. That is important for those who object anything that related to leveraging in the financial markets. 'ETFConnect Fund Sorter' is a simple ETF sorting tool, delivers only two sorting abilities (working together): Fund Type and a selected criteria for your picking. The reason we chose this source to appear in Sargels Toolbar is that it gives a first look on the ETFs possibilities under general criteria sorting, so you'll be able to cut off a very long list of ETFs before you'll start drill down into a specific ETF, something that is a real time saver. The last source on the 'ETFs' sub-button is the 'ETFConnect Fund Sponsors'. This sorter gives you the ability to first choose your favorites ETFs' Sponsor, if there is any, and from the list given, you'll be able to choose the ETF you want. Many Institution investors prefer a specific ETFs' sponsor to work with, based on their personal or business acquaintanceship, or on a past experiences. If you, as an investor, prefer a specific sponsor, which you think is more reliable than the others, that better fits your needs, you can start the drill down routine by checking this source first.
Finally we finish the 'ETF' sub-button, covering all the sources inside it.
