Exchange Traded Funds
What is an Exchange Traded Fund?
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a mutual fund that is listed and traded on a stock exchange. Most ETFs are created with the aim of matching as closely as possible the performance of market indices and therefore allow exposure to the broad market through a single fund. Since they are listed on a stock exchange, investors buy and sell ETFs using a stock broker or market maker. You do not need to deal with the Fund Manager in the way that you would typically need to when investing in a traditional mutual fund.
