Value Stock ETFs: Apples-To-Apples?

FYI: Do increasingly lower fees for index-tracking exchange-traded funds distract investors from taking a good, hard look at how a fund is put together?

Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF research at S&P Capital IQ, is worried this might be the case, at least sometimes. He reminds investors on Monday that it’s important to kick the tires of index construction in addition to trawling for the lowest fees.
Regards,
Ted
