Exchange-Traded Funds

An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a group of stocks or bonds that are traded on financial
exchanges just like individual stocks. This means you will have exposure to more assets and
have only one transaction fee while trading multiple assets at once. There are many kinds of
ETFs to choose from with a multitude of themes that will allow you to balance risk in addition to
being tax conscious.


Are ETFs the right vehicle for investing? We have other options, but for some clients an ETF
approach makes sense. We have attached some information on ETFs for you to watch. It will
explain ETFs and provide some basic information.

A Personalized Approach to Investing

The MVT Common Fund investment process begins when you answer a few questions about
your investment goals and preferences (such as risk tolerance). After assessing your responses,
we will work with you to create a portfolio that seeks to meet those goals while remaining true to
the firm’s philosophy.

ESG Investing 

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are the criteria that govern ESG
investing. The MVT Common Fund can help you invest in companies that are making the world
a better place. These companies place importance on their environmental, social, and governance
standards. You can expand your asset allocation while also supporting positive change.

Growing Dividend Yield

We seek to invest in dividend stocks that have had a track record of growing dividend yield over
the past 10-25 years. Dividend stocks may provide a recurring source of income that you can
monitor as the payments accrue to your account. Dividend investing can be a great investment
strategy over time.

automation. We have created portfolios that are comprised of companies that are considered
innovators in their fields. It can be hard to keep up with all the newest businesses, market
changes, and technologies. Let us ease that burden for you.

Bond Exposure

Our customized portfolios are built with diversification in mind. We prepare our clients for all
market trends by making sure that they are not overexposed to high risk assets. Bonds can
provide a predictable income stream while preserving capital. We attempt to reduce the risk for
our clients who are investing for the long-term by offering access to bond ETFs.

Why create the Common Fund?

The idea of the Common Fund grew out of discussions with clients about the idea that we needed
to provide an investment alternative for our clients, their family members, and investors that were
new to the market, and trustees of institutional accounts who believe in the benefits of long-term
investing in domestic, international, and global markets. According to the Statista Research
Department (https://www.statista.com/statistics/278249/global-number-of-etfs/) in 2021 there
were over 8500 ETFs globally and the ETF worldwide managed assets were more than 10
trillion U.S. dollars.

philosophy we have used for more than two and a half decades. We do this analysis in a
disciplined, thorough, and consistent manner so that you don’t have to.
