About ETF - An ETF is a security that aims to reproduce the performance of an index, a commodity or a basket of assets portfolio like an index fund. However, ETFs are traded on the stock market like regular stocks. ETF shares are therefore subject to price fluctuations throughout the day. Combining the advantages of stocks and index funds, ETFs are liquid and easy to track while offering strong diversification.
