Frequently asked questions
Why should I invest in ETFs instead of traditional mutual funds?

ETFs offer lower fees, greater transparency, and intraday trading flexibility. They’re an efficient way to diversify your portfolio across global markets and asset classes.

What are the costs involved in ETF investing with your firm?

We charge a transparent subscription fee, with no hidden commissions or product markups. ETFs themselves typically have very low expense ratios, keeping overall costs minimal.

How do you select the ETFs included in your strategies?

Each ETF is selected to capture a defined market segment, such as U.S. growth stocks, European large caps, or bonds, or a particular sector like technology or healthcare. The final choice of which ETF to invest in is determined through a data-driven screening process that evaluates multiple momentum indicators.
