What Are ETFs?

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are investment funds that trade on stock exchanges like an individual stock. Each ETF typically holds a diversified portfolio of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and is designed to track the performance of a specific index, sector, or theme.

Why Invest in ETFs?

ETFs offer a cost-effective way to build a diversified portfolio.

Key benefits include:

Efficient Capital

Low Cost

ETFs will generally have lower fees than mutual funds.

Diversification

Diversification

A single ETF can provide exposure to dozens or
hundreds of securities.

Liquidity

Liquidity

ETFs can be bought and sold throughout the trading
day at market prices.

Transparency

Transparency

Most ETFs disclose holdings daily, so investors
know what they own.

However, ETFs (like all financial products) have risks such as:

  • Market Risk: Like stocks, ETFs can lose value due to changes in market conditions, interest rates, or economic factors.
  • Tracking Error: Some ETFs may not perfectly mirror the performance of their target index due to fees, trading costs, or replication methods.
  • Liquidity Risk: Not all ETFs are highly traded. Lower trading volume can lead to wider bid-ask spreads or price inefficiencies.
  • Product Complexity: Leveraged, inverse, or synthetic ETFs carry unique risks that may not suit all investors.
  • Currency & Regional Risks: International ETFs may be affected by currency fluctuations or geopolitical events.

How Do You Buy or Sell ETFs?

You can purchase and sell ETFs through an online brokerage account like those available at Interactive Brokers or through a financial advisor. If you use an online brokerage account, you can place buy or sell orders for ETFs through the broker’s platform after your account is approved and funded.

ETFs are bought and sold at a stock exchange, such as NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ, the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Euronext or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX).
