Should you pay the price for PowerShares?
The Powershares Buyback Achievers Fund is an ETF which targets firms which have had the financial strength to keep buying back their own stock. Its rated highly by the investment research firm, Morningstar.
In the past five years, it's ranked in the top five percent of the US large-cap blend category. It's also planning an international version. One of the downsides, however, is that its quite pricey. Morningstar's Director of Passive Fund Research, Ben Johnson, says pressure will ultimately mount on Powershares to reduce its fees.
