If you own mutual funds and ETFs you are pretty much at the mercy of the company that operates them. Now if you use broadly diversified index etfs chances are these won't get decommissioned any time soon.. But who knows :-) So much for ETF’s being “passive investments”.

You will get your money back, but how much will depend on the market value on May 18th if you don't sell your shares before that. @Nathan Assets of those ETFs to be closed will be liquidated and you will receive cash equivalent to the amount of shares you hold as of May 18th.

Do you get any of your money back or does the ETF stock lose all value?
