ETF secrets of a “quant analyst”

Actively managed mutual funds charge high fees, because they spend an enormous amount of money on stock research.

By comparison, ETFs, like index mutual funds, can keep costs low, because they typically track market benchmarks.

“In my opinion, ETFs aren’t just better than mutual funds, they’re significantly better,” says Jim.

“An ETF is a group, or ‘basket,’ of stocks in a category, such as technology, financial services, health care, or small caps. And if managed correctly, they can outperform mutual funds.”

A quantitative (quant) analyst, Jim is the developer of the Lowell Technical Trading System (LTTS).

LTTS identifies the ETFs in each category that are the top performers -- based on their 7-day and 50-day momentum.

Extensive back-testing shows that LTTS consistently outperforms the broad markets over the long term.

But that’s not all….

7 ways you can profit from ETFs

What’s more, if you are not yet trading Jim Lowell’s market-trouncing ETFs, you are missing out on all these advantages:

1. ETFs are a tax-advantaged investment: you are not tagged with capital gains distributions when your fellow investors sell shares, because the underlying stocks in the ETF are traded, not sold. You don’t pay taxes until you sell your shares.

2. Annual management fees and expenses are extremely modest compared to most mutual funds. There are no 12-b-1 fees, sales loads, or exit charges. And no minimum investment required.

3. You can trade ETFs with stop-loss orders, sharply limiting your downside risk. To make sure you don’t pay more than you want for shares, you can use limit orders, just as you would for a stock.

4. You can purchase ETFs on margin, enabling you to leverage your investment for huge gains.

5. There are hundreds of ETFs to choose from, enabling you to trade virtually any index in the world, from the NASDAQ and the Malaysian stock market, to microcap and Chinese stocks.

6. ETFs can be sold short, even during a market rout, to profit from falling stocks. Unlike individual stocks, ETFs are exempt from the uptick rule.

7. Unlike mutual funds, which trade at end-of-day prices, ETFs can be bought and sold instantaneously on major stock exchanges all day long, giving you tighter control of your entry and exit prices.
