New Investment Frontier: A Guide to Exchange Traded Funds for Canadians

Exchange traded funds have been called the next generation of mutual funds. Some advocates even believe ETFs will overtake mutual funds as surely as CDs made LPs obsolete. In 2000 there were 30 ETFs trading on North American stock exchanges with assets of $36.5 billion. Today there are more than 100 ETFs being traded with assets of more than $75 billion. Analysts predict that within the next five years the number of ETFs will skyrocket, holding assets in excess of $1 trillion.The New Investment Frontier is the first book that will guide Canadians through the bewildering world of ETF investments. It not only discusses the various Canadian and American ETFs available, but it also examines the different tax considerations for Canadians buying American ETFs and RRSP restrictions.Atkinson, Howard J. is the author of 'New Investment Frontier: A Guide to Exchange Traded Funds for Canadians', published 2002 under ISBN 9781894663144 and ISBN 1894663144.
