ETF basics
ETF explained for beginners.
A simple guide to what an ETF is and why beginners often hear about them.
What is an ETF?
An ETF is an exchange-traded fund. It is a basket of investments that can be bought and sold on a stock exchange.
Why do beginners hear about them?
Some ETFs can give broad exposure to many companies or markets in one product, but they still involve risk and can fall in value.
What should you check?
Look at what the ETF holds, the fees, the risk level, the currency, and whether it fits the time frame you are learning about.
