An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that trades on stock exchanges, offering investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of assets. ETFs are designed to track the performance of a specific index, such as a stock index or a bond index. They provide a convenient and cost-effective way for investors to gain access to a wide range of securities, including stocks, bonds, commodities, or a combination thereof. ETFs offer liquidity, transparency, and flexibility, allowing investors to buy and sell shares throughout the trading day at market prices.
