Analyst Report

This ETF is one of several ETFs available that offers exposure to mid cap U.S. stocks, an asset class that can make up a significant portion of long-term, buy-and-hold portfolios. As such, this ETF may be more appealing to those in the portfolio construction process as opposed to short term traders. MDY offers exposure to a balanced portfolio of stocks, including close to 400 individual names and spreading exposure relatively evenly. The expense ratio is competitive with the other options out there and the level of liquidity is unmatched in the space. In addition to cap-weighted choices such as this fund and IJH, there is the alpha-seeking FNX, ultra-cheap FMU, and equal-weighted EWRM.
