What are exchange traded funds?
Exchange traded funds, or ETFs are one of the fastest growing areas of investment. An exchange traded fund is a fund type that tracks assets such as commodities, an index, shares, and bonds but trades like a common stock. By owning an ETF, investors get the diversification of buying an entire index at a more affordable cost.
ETFs are one of the most popular ‘passive investments’, which have over the last few years been competing with more traditional ‘active investments’ like mutual funds and hedge funds. Typically, ETFs have lower fees than mutual funds and can easily be bought and sold during trading hours.
ETF investing is ideal for those wishing for a simple way to diversify their share trading.
