December 27, 2010--
One of the pivotal sub-plots in the emerging markets bull run of 2010 has been the strength of the consumer in various emerging markets.
Plenty of analysts, experts and pundits have opined about emerging middle classes in countries such as Brazil, China and India and the potential the new found wealth in these markets (and others ) holds for investors.

The majority of investors still not familiar with exchange traded funds (ETFs)
December 27, 2010--There is a tremendous growth opportunity for providers of exchange traded funds (ETFs) to grow total assets for one simple reason—most potential retail investors have never heard of them. Indeed, latest research from Mintel reveals that more than six in 10 investors say they don't invest in ETFs simply because they "don't know what they are"— and that number was the same for the higher income households that are most likely to be investors.
“Investment companies have a long way to go in getting the word out about ETFs,” states Susan Menke, vice president and behavioral economist at Mintel Comperemedia. “On the other hand, it does show that there is tremendous growth potential in this market.”
Even investors who currently own ETFs don’t feel entirely comfortable with their level of knowledge about the products. Mintel’s data shows that only about half (54%) of ETF owners feel they are “very knowledgeable” when it comes to ETF investing. It seems owners of both mutual funds and individual stocks are even more befuddled, with just 17% of existing investors in each of these categories reporting they feel comfortable with investing in ETF products.
“ETFs really only burst onto the scene in the last few years, and obviously have not penetrated well into some potential markets,” adds Susan Menke. “One reason is that they are not commonly offered in qualified plans such as 401Ks, but even those who invest in non-retirement accounts are still quite unfamiliar with this newer type of investment.”
