From the Inside Flap
Why invest in individual stocks when you can invest in a basket of stocks that track the major domestic and global indices as well as important sectors such as technology, energy, or financial issues? The emergence of index products–first mutual funds, then index futures, and now exchange traded funds–has resoundingly answered this question with their profitability and widespread acceptance over the last few years.

Arguably the most popular new products in the investment world, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and E–mini stock index futures (the “E” standing for electronic market access) have achieved more success than even the most radically optimistic forecaster could have predicted. Industry executive and expert in the field, David Lerman, reveals the intricacies of these products, how to use them, and what the future holds for these exciting investment vehicles.

Launched in 1993, the first exchange traded fund–the S&P 500 Depositary Receipts (SPDRs, affectionately known as “Spiders”)–combined low costs, greater tax efficiencies, and superb liquidity for investors. This book explains dozens of new ETFs, including the popular QQQs, iShares, and streetTRACKS, and will teach you how these tools are used for long–term and short–term strategies in broad–based and sector indices. It also discusses in depth how the E–mini S&P 500 and other E–mini Nasdaq–100 futures allow traders to profit on the direction of indexes.

Exchange Traded Funds and E–mini Stock Index Futures offers investors, traders, investment advisors, and brokers a full–scale examination of these extraordinary products including:
∗ The nuts and bolts of ETFs and E–mini stock index futures, including the advantages and attributes of each product, the basics of stock index futures from the clearinghouse to performance bond margins, and contract specifications
∗ How ETFs and E–mini stock index futures can fit into nearly any investor′s portfolio and reduce costs, increase returns, and alleviate the tax burdens commonly associated with traditional mutual funds
∗ Blending active management and indexing to create “core–satellite” strategies widely implemented by institutions
∗ How to use E–mini stock index futures for trading and spreading strategies, hedging, and other risk management strategies

With numerous charts, graphics, and case studies, Exchange Traded Funds and E–mini Stock Index Futures is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand these tools and obtain superb results.

Outstanding for biginners in ETFs and Emini futures
This is a well written book and easy to read about the history of ETFs and Emini futures. The author describes the creation of the likes of SPY, QQQ, SMH. Why is it important to know about these instruments, how they get created, who manages them, their cost effective investing over regular mutual funds. He goes in great detail by listing all EFTs available today with their tickers as well, till the point I don’t need to keep going to the internet. I started trading the EFTs for profit and for hedging in particular after reading this book. The introduction about the Emini futures is useful and gave me a good start in this subject.
