The first book of its kind, Investing with Intelligent ETFs scrutinizes one of the most
innovative and popular investment securities on the financial market today. Attracted to
ETFs' built-in diversification and their flexibility regarding trading and investing
styles, high-level investors have been flocking to them for several years. At the present
time, there are 646 ETFs, containing $620 billion in assets, and the types of strategies
used are continually growing.
Max Isaacman, author of the groundbreaking How to be an Index Investor, offers a timely
analysis that provides a close look at the intelligent ETFs available today, explaining
how to use the latest securities and indexes to add risk-adjusted gain (alpha) to your
portfolio. He introduces you to the various ETF providers and supplies the information
you'll need about the many securities variations, including the most complex and
specialized. You'll learn how to invest in:
New intelligent ETFs that use quantitative measurements to beat the market
Fundamentally weighted ETFs, which at times outperform cap-weighted ETFs
Passive ETFs for sector representation and market participation

Investing with Intelligent ETFs explains how these and other ETFs are constructed, and why
they are superior to stocks and mutual funds. Illustrating strategies previously available

today's increasingly complex but profitable global market. With this thorough, insightful
book, you can participate in new innovative investment strategies with all the knowledge
