What are ETFs?
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a type of investment vehicle that tracks the performance of a broad collection of underlying assets, such as shares, commodities, and bonds.
ETF portfolios are held by corporations that issue shares (a portion of ownership) in the fund. These shares give investors exposure to the underlying assets as a collective.
