What is an Exchanged Traded Fund?


An Exchange Traded Fund is a security that tracks an index or basket of assets like an index. ETFs trade like stocks on an exchange.

Why Exchange Traded Funds?

  • ETFs usually have lower expenses than the index funds that they track.
  • ETFs track a variety of indexes and therefore make diversification easier, enabling you to reduce the overall risk of your portfolio.
  • ETFs offer more tax efficient ways of investing in the stock market.
