It’s not intuitive to me how/why an ETF and mutual fund that track the same index perform the same. Specifically, since ETF are priced throughout the day and funds are priced at close of market, wouldn’t ETFs have the advantage of being more real time and mutual funds the disadvantage of being priced after the market already incorporated all the information for the day?

Why are you watching the price of a fund like you’re day trading?

Do you seriously believe anyone on this thread doesn’t know what “etf” stands for? Continue to debate the semantics with yourselves.

Honestly that’s why ETFs are taking over.

Funds were popular when trades cost money and there were lots of share classes that paid brokers nice load fees.

To your point there were folks taking advantage of the pricing lag by quickly trading in and out of mutual funds. I believe this is closely tracked now and or illegal.

If fees and tracking are equal returns should be identical between an ETF and a mutual fund.

Correct, for that reason passive / index strategy ETFs make more sense these days over index funds.

Most of what mutual funds have going for them is variety of asset classes and strategies in the actively managed space. The problem is once you bake in fees most of these funds don’t beat the market...
