In this episode, the focus is on the funds that are most popular among investors looking to track the ups and downs of a particular market, theme, or investment type. Kyle is joined by Dave Baxter to discuss the key trends among the top 20 most-purchased index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) so far this year among interactive investor customers. The duo also look at a recently launched global ETF from Vanguard and explain why it’s important to examine how an index fund or ETF achieves its exposure, as this can differ between funds even when they track the same market.
