Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.

FXL seeks to match the performance of the StrataQuant Technology Index before fees and expenses.
