E*TRADE Financial Corporation announced a series of new tools with low barriers to entry that help customers diversify their portfolio: Low-cost portfolios that enable good investing habits. With just $500, investors can choose a no-transaction-fee mutual fund portfolio based on their tolerance for risk. Customers can set up recurring deposits to their account according to their schedule, making investing a routine. Fund filters for income-oriented investors. Baby Boomer investors are in search of ways to generate income—especially as they enter retirement. Now they can easily filter for non-proprietary, income-generating ETFs and mutual funds built with dividend-paying stocks or interest-bearing bonds. These funds are on the E*TRADE All-Star list, which undergo a rigorous review process by the Company’s Investment Strategy team. Innovative Tech and Rising Economy investing themes. Investors looking to align their investments with their interests can now leverage two additional thematic screeners. The Technology Pacesetter theme surfaces hand-picked ETFs focused on tech-forward companies creating new products, while the Rising Economy theme centers on exposure to countries with rapidly developing economies.
