As the popularity of Exchange Traded Funds has grown with investors, so have the options investors have when it comes to the type and style of ETF they want to own. Not only can an ETF investor buy specific asset class ETFs, but they can buy ETFs designed by specific investors.

Just like how different asset classes have different risks, different investors have different beliefs about what makes a good stock. Each investor, professional or retail, has different metrics they look at, have different investment timeframes, have different investment goals, and just approach the market and investing in a different manner.

Furthermore, it acts as a safety net for O'Leary if the company he invests in is a massive winner at first but, doesn’t have the longevity to grow and become a long-term successful organization.

While the sarcastic nickname O'Leary has received on the show may not make him the best partner for an entrepreneur, it shows that he not only is a wise investor but someone that limits their risk as much as possible. For some investors, this sounds like the kind of guy they would love to be able to invest with. I mean honestly, who hasn’t watched Shark Tank and thought to themselves how cool it would be if they could partner with one of the investors on the show?
