Brazil is one of the fabled BRIC (Brazil, India, Russia and China) emerging-market juggernauts, but in recent years the country has lost a great deal of its investment star power. The Brazilian government mismanaged spending on stadiums and other athletic facilities in its role as the host of this year’s World Cup and the 2016 […]
ETFs: Revolution is My Name
The exchange-traded fund (ETF) revolution is here, and I want my name to be synonymous with this rapid change.

Small Providers Harvest the Commodities ETF Space
The investment category of commodities covers a wide range of products, ranging from earth-based fuels (oil and gas) to precious metals (silver, gold) to agricultural produce (corn, soybeans).

Explore Actively Managed ETFs with These 3 Providers
One major difference between exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds is that ETFs tend to be passively managed.
