4 Best Blackrock ETFs (Index Funds) to BUY in 2021

#ETFs have become so popular that the money invested in ETFs has gone up by 3,000% since 2003. According to Statista, the number of ETFs in 2020 reached 7,602 globally. That makes picking the right #ETF difficult - particularly for beginners.

One of the questions that come up first is: Which one is the best ETF to buy?

There isn’t that one perfect ETF that fits everyone’s needs. However, a good place to start with is looking at ETF providers. As of 2021, the largest ETF provider globally is Blackrock. According to etf.com, #Blackrock currently has 394 ETFs and a total of $2.3 trillion in assets under management. Therefore, picking an ETF from the ETF giant Blackrock is an excellent starting point.

When you select an ETF for your investment portfolio, there are some key characteristics of an ETF that you should be looking at, such as the objective of an ETF, the total expense ratio (also known as ongoing charges figure), the fund size, the number of companies an ETF invests in, the weight of the top 10 holdings, the number of countries the fund invests in and how an ETF treats dividends.

The total expense ratio measures the ETF provider’s total cost of running a fund. Total costs may include fees like management fees, trading fees, legal fees and auditor fees. The total expense ratio is calculated by dividing the total annual cost by the fund's total assets averaged over that year.

A large fund size of an ETF is important because it shows you how liquid a fund is - so if there are a lot of people that trade that ETF. If an ETF has a small fund size, then it’s less liquid - so that not a lot of people are trading this ETF on a daily basis. If you want to sell a less liquid ETF, you could run into a situation where there won’t be a lot of investors that want to buy that ETF from you - which could bring down your selling price massively.

The number of companies or countries an ETF invests in indicates how diversified an ETF is.

ETFs can treat dividends in two ways: They either pay them out to ETF holders (“Distributing ETF”) or they use those dividends to buy more of the assets it currently holds (“Accumulating ETF”).

But what are the best #BlackrockETFs and index funds in 2021? Which ETF is the best to track the total US stock market performance? How can you build a globally diversified ETF portfolio that invests in both, developed markets and emerging markets? Should you rather go for a #GrowthETF or for a #sustainable #ESG ETF?

These are the questions that will be answered in this video. Enjoy!
