Im looking into index etfs. My only concern is the company managing the etf, if it goes bust, then what happens? im looking at I shares, an index ETF, and state streets global advisors company.
If it's a true ETF rather than an ETN (exchange-traded note, essentially a debt instrument) then the assets of the investors is segregated from the actual management company and so if the management company goes bust then investors' assets are safe.
