any investors think of
exchange-traded funds
as a cheap and easy
method of tracking a
chosen stockmarket. But ETFs are a
fast-evolving part of the investment
landscape, moving into an ever-
growing number of areas based on
investor demand.
Adam Laird, head of ETF strategy
at Lyxor, says that previously if you
had a conviction in a particular trend,
you would need to carry out your own
research and select individual stocks.
“There were a few thematic funds,
but the choice was limited,” he
adds. “But as more data has become
available, ETFs are able to build an
index targeting a specific sector or
trend and that has allowed the launch
of some quite specific investments at
low cost.”
