ETF

An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a collection of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities and is traded on stock exchanges, similar to individual stocks. ETFs offer investors a way to diversify their portfolios by owning a wide range of assets in a single investment. They typically track an index, like the S&P 500, and can be bought or sold throughout the trading day at market prices. ETFs are popular due to their flexibility, lower fees, and tax efficiency compared to mutual funds.
