Funds are often incubated and then merged or shuttered depending on their asset and returns performance.

    I believe I'm write that this is the largest ETF fund closing in history - I...

    andrewcornAndrew Corn submits: The ETF industry now has numerous indexes aimed at matching the broad market or a market segment or sector. The goal of most of these products is to not even tie the index. At best they will under perform due to their fees.

    Some ETFs outperform by a basis point or two before fees. This is typically due to tracking error, and with some of the most prosaic of the indexes, the fees can be quite low. These are the indexes that can perhaps be best replicated...
