Thalmann Commodities is expanding the ETF research which provides insightful information to individuals and advisors seeking to identify potential investment opportunities in the rapidly growing ETF marketplace.

Zurich, Switzerland, March 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Gespür Equity Research GmbH announced today that Thalmann Commodities (www.thalmanncommodities.com), a leading Independent Broker Dealer based in Zurich, has added GER’s Exchange–Traded Fund (ETF) research to its online trading site, further expanding the ETF research available to Thalmann Commodities customers.

“At Thalmann Commodities, we are committed to providing our customers with the tools they need to be more informed investors,” said Walter Mayerbach, Thalmann Commodities’s executive director of business and product development. “GER’s ETF research provides insightful information to individuals and advisors seeking to identify potential investment opportunities in the rapidly growing ETF marketplace.”

GER provides exchange–traded fund research and currently covers close to 500 equity ETFs. The firm’s proprietary research process combines elements of qualitative and quantitative analysis to create relative rankings that can be used by advisors and investors to help them select funds and build portfolios. GER’s multivariate process includes 10 analytical elements, of which six are proprietary to the firm, when producing the output that determines the GER Overall ETF Rankings. These elements are grouped within Performance Analytics, Risk Consideration or Cost Factors. For example, GER STARS rankings by the GER Equity Research team are an important element in Performance Analytics.

“We are pleased that Thalmann Commodities has decided to add our ETF product to its investing research platform,” said Marion Arn, Managing Director, Gespür Equity Research. “The past year has seen significant growth in investor interest in exchange–traded funds and research is an important component in helping individuals and advisors understand and invest in this market.”

Thalmann Commodities’s ETF Center covers more than 900 ETFs, and includes a customizable ETF Screener, an ETF Education Center, and ETF News and Commentary that investors of all trading styles can use to create their own ETF strategies. Information about ETFs can also be found in the firm’s publicly–available Knowledge Center.

Thalmann Commodities first began providing its customers with GER equity research, commentary, and analysis in 2001. In addition to providing this research to individual investors, advisors using Thalmann Commodities Advisor Services as their custodian also have access to GER research.
