What is ETF?
These are exchange traded funds, that can be directly bought or sold on the stock exchanges. ETFs track the performance of a particular index, asset class or financial instrument. Exchange traded funds are based on different asset classes, such as: equities (by geography, industry and other factors), bonds, currencies, commodities, cryptocurrencies, etc.
Why choose exchange traded funds?
-
- ETF instruments can help to diversify portfolio.
- ETFs can track and be based on: different indices, value or growth companies, high-dividend companies, ESGs and SRIs, i.e. companies that meet environmental, social responsibility and good governance standards, and many other factors.
- These are liquid financial instruments and are traded in the same way as shares;
- The commissions of these passively managed funds are significantly lower compared to actively managed funds;
