Our Mission and Vision
ETF Reference was conceived with the goal of providing world-class tools, education, and advice to help individuals and professionals better allocate their assets in a flexible, low-cost, and tax efficient portfolio.
We believe that:
- The flexibility of the exchange-traded structure makes it ideal for a number of objectives, ranging from the construction of a long-term portfolio to execution of a short-term trade.
- The low expenses of many ETFs allow investors to keep more of their gross returns, accelerating the growth of wealth resulting from compounding returns.
- As the number of ETFs has increased, so too has the need for diligent and thoughtful research into the distinguishing characteristics in order to identify products that efficiently accomplish the desired portfolio objective.
We launched with the objective of helping our audience efficiently identify the ETFs that are consistent with their investment goals and risk tolerance.
