Best ETFs for the Current Market

Hundreds of new ETFs have entered the market in the last two years.  Many of these newcomers offer you exciting new ways to beat the market, lower your costs, and simplify your life.

But which of these should you consider for this tumultuous market? 

As editor of Forbes ETF Advisor, it's my mission to help you separate wheat from the chaff and quickly zero in on the best new entrants.  In this bulletin, I'll show you a list of new ETFs available for trading. 

When it comes to finding the best ETFs, we have a remarkable advantage. The secret is our proprietary ETF ranking system. This system ranks ETFs by their anticipated risk and return in relation to their indexes and to moving averages. That's how Forbes ETF Advisor can give you unmatched quantitative and technical perspectives on the wide universe of ETFs.  Then we combine this technical analysis with our time-tested risk-adjusted investment discipline.

And we have a few other advantages up our ETF sleeves, not the least of which is the fact that I've been covering ETFs since their inception, both for institutional and individual investors.

That's why many subscribers tell me that Forbes ETF Advisor is must-read guidance for navigating the rapidly changing world of ETF investing.  ETFs now offer you an increasingly complex range of options. Many ETFs are now tied to unknown and complex market indexes.  And many new ETFs are from totally new investment firms that aren't household names. 

Just take a look at a few of the recent new entrants…
