Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
What is an "exchange-traded fund"?
An ETF is a type of security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a group of assets. There are thousands of ETF options, from traditional investments to alternative assets like commodities and currencies. An ETF trades similarly to a stock on an exchange, so ETF share prices go up and down throughout the day, as they are bought and sold.
Who are ETFs for?
ETFs may be good for investors looking for more passive, liquid investments that track a specific benchmark, or who don’t meet the minimum amounts for mutual funds. ETFs may not be good for individuals who aren’t comfortable with risk or paying commissions on each transaction.
