ETFs frequently offer cost advantages over traditional mutual funds, with expense ratios that can be well below those of actively managed and indexed mutual funds. Their reasonable and transparent fees can make them desirable for investing in retirement plans.

"MAFP recently introduced ETFxChange(SM), the first platform to allow recordkeepers to handle ETFs using the same systems and processes they already have in place for trading mutual funds. Presently there are more than 800 ETFs available on the ETFxChange platform," stated Tim Friday, Institutional Services Group CEO, Mid Atlantic Capital Group (MACG).

"We are excited to offer our employee benefit clients this burgeoning opportunity," said Tommy Thomasson, President and CEO of DailyAccess. "Research indicates that the employer-sponsored retirement plan advisor community is embracing this investment option for their clients, because of its low cost to the participant. ETFs are another example of our philosophy of keeping 'it simple and easy' for advisors, plan sponsors and participants."
