Barron's Highlights One Advisor's Love of BlackRock's Core ETFs


Publicly, asset management execs either hate, or pooh pooh, the ongoing ETF price wars, but wealth managers are singing praises for the conflict, according to Barron's.

"I love the price wars," Barron's quotes Lucas Turton, chief investment officer of Windham Capital Management.

The Boston-based firm uses primarily ETFs as it manages about $1 billion for institutions and wealthy private clients. The rise of new, low-cost options is creating some welcome dilemmas, according to Barron's.

The dilemma: Whether to swap three very good Vanguard Group funds for two promising iShares ones, keeping the same (or very similar) exposure while simplifying the portfolio and saving money.

To learn about the funds in play, and what Turton ultimately decides, turn to the Barron's article by Brendan Conway.
