Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group, a leading issuer of index funds (and, since Bogle's retirement, of ETFs), has argued that ETFs represent short-term speculation, that their trading expenses decrease returns to investors, and that most ETFs provide insufficient diversification. He concedes that a broadly diversified ETF that is held over time can be a good investment. ETFs are dependent on the efficacy of the arbitrage mechanism in order for their share price to track net asset value. While the average deviation between the daily closing price and the daily NAV of ETFs that track domestic indexes is generally less than 2%, the deviations may be more significant for ETFs that track certain foreign indexes.[4] The Wall Street Journal reported in November 2008, during a period of market turbulence, that some lightly traded ETFs not infrequently had deviations of 5% or more, exceeding 10% in a handful of cases, although even for these niche ETFs, the average deviation was only a little more than 1%. The trades with the greatest deviations tended to be made immediately after the market opened. ETFs offer little or no advantage over index funds for tax-deferred, long-term, retirement investors, because such investors typically conduct little if any trading and tax issues are of little concern for them. In a survey of investment professionals, the most frequently-cited disadvantage of ETFs was the unknown, untested indexes used by many ETFs, followed by the overwhelming number of choices. Some critics claim that ETFs can be, and have been, used to manipulate market prices, including having been used for short selling that has been asserted by some observers (including Jim Cramer of theStreet.com) to have contributed to the market collapse of 2008.
