I’m a fan of ‘vanilla’ ETFs and use these as my core holdings. For my satellite holdings, I’m looking for higher risk / reward from a number of funds with decent and—most importantly—understandable performance, such as MIM’s. I’m yet to be convinced of the benefits of boutique ETFs, and I don’t have a requirement for them, so they don’t have a place in my portfolio.
