One question to ask yourself regarding the suitability of ETFs is whether they should be a core or specialty holding.
True.
2.
All ETF fees are low, so there is no need to compare fees between different ETFs.
False. While ETFs are generally low cost there is a wide range of different fee amounts. When comparing fees remember that the best comparisons are between ETFs in the same category.
3.
Analyzing how an ETF will impact other portfolio holdings is not important because each investment should be considered individually.
False. While it is important to evaluate an ETF on its individual merits the impact on the rest of the portfolio is an important consideration.
4.
Would an ETF that you would only consider investing 5% of your portfolio in be considered a specialty holding?
Yes. A holding with only a 5% weight in the portfolio will be a small determinant of portfolio returns.
5.
The index replication process is an important consideration when picking between two similar ETFs.
True. Some ETFs are meant for active traders that offer high trading volumes and tight bid-ask spreads, but a not as complete replication process. Other ETFs offer full replication but not as high trading volume and wider bid-ask spreads. Your decision should then be made based on whether you're an investor or trader.
