Where do I put my money? Mutual funds versus exchange-traded funds.

Let’s start with a disclaimer. Despite going to business school, neither of us is sitting on a beach living off investments; so please, take our comments bearing that in mind. In the current column, we explore two commonly used vehicles for investing in broad asset classes. They are exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds. These assets are broadly held by plastic surgeons and by the investing population. We suspect that most readers hold both of these products within their portfolio.
