Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are investment funds that trade on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. They hold a diversified mix of assets—such as stocks, bonds, or commodities—aimed at tracking the performance of a specific index or sector. Investors can buy and sell ETF shares throughout the trading day at market prices, offering liquidity and flexibility. ETFs provide a way to invest in a broad market or niche without purchasing individual securities, often with lower costs and risks compared to buying multiple assets separately. They are popular for their transparency, diversification, and ease of trading.
