Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Exchange-Traded Funds
A. Seddik Meziani · 2018
73/100
👍 Worth It
This is a genuinely deep dive into ETFs — smart beta, ESG, frontier markets, active ETFs, the tax angles — written by a recognized ETF-focused finance professor. It's dense and assumes real investing background, so it's for the serious reader, not a beginner's primer, and there's a publish-date discrepancy worth double-checking before you cite it.
