ETF

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a basket of securities that trades on an exchange like a stock, offering diversified exposure in a single, liquid investment.

ETFs bundle many holdings, such as all the stocks in an index, into one security that can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. This makes them a convenient, low-cost way to gain broad exposure.

Most ETFs track an index passively, giving investors instant diversification at a fraction of the cost of active funds. Others target specific sectors, themes, bonds, or commodities.

Because they trade intraday with tight spreads and offer tax efficiency, ETFs have become a cornerstone of modern portfolios for both long-term investors and active traders.

Example

Buying a single S&P 500 ETF gives an investor exposure to 500 large U.S. companies at once.
