I hate mutual funds. ETFs are better all the way around. The taxes are a big part, but so is the fact that the majority don’t beat the indexes.

I don’t think ETF’s will kill mutual funds, but I do think that they will cause mutual funds to have lower expense ratios. Those funds that have over 2% expenses simply will not be able to keep the money flowing in.

Forgot about the tax benefits, good call BizIntel. I prefer ETFs over mutual funds as well. The liquidity and simplicity is what makes them most attractive to me as an investor.

I prefer ETFs over Mutual Funds. They’re usually cheaper and I like having the freedom to buy and sell them at will.

Good post – don’t forget tax benefits, as ETF investors can buy sell when they choose vs. investors in mutual funds get gains distributed to them in the same quarter in which the fund sells them.
