why two rivers uses etfs

• Targeted Factor-Exposure: Factor-Driven/Strategic Beta ETFs provide a set of institutional-quality tools for managing risk & return (Low Volatility, Momentum, Fundamentals, etc.). Previously reserved for institutional investors and used since the 1970s, factor investing is now available to all investors through the use of ETFs.

• Transparency: By law, mutual funds only have to disclose their holdings quarterly. The nature of the ETF structure allows investors to see all individual holdings on a daily basis for almost all ETFs.

• Lower Expense Ratios: Since ETFs do not have minimums, front-end loads, or redemption fees, they can offer significant cost savings.

• Tax Efficiency: ETFs can be more tax-efficient than traditional mutual funds and typically distribute fewer capital gains to shareholders.

• Diversification: Buying a single ETF can provide exposure to hundreds or thousands of securities. 

• Intra-Day Trading: ETFs trade throughout the day just like stocks and their prices are continuously updated during the trading day.
