I'm just wondering, has anyone heard whether there are any etf of etf's on the horizon in the near future? I was thinking, it would probably not be very complex to put together a simple ETF that purchased other ETFs to give you basically something similar to a fund of funds.
Why hasn't anyone brought this to market yet? It seems like you could create something like the target retirement funds or, if not something that changed structure through time, something like an aggressive growth ETF, conservative ETF, etc. And each just has a different makeup, broken into the various ETF counterparts.
The etf could hold a standard allocation of stock and bond etfs allocated. Even if it charged a bit on top of the underlying ETFs, it would be very convenient so we don't have to pay commissions to rebalance quarterly/yearly and on top of that, having to remember to rebalance
Just wondered since the fund world seems headed that way, and with more and more slice and dices appearing in the ETF world, sounds like a natural fit.
Has anyone heard anything?
