ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is a financial product that works like a mix between a stock and an investment fund.
đ In summary:
It is a basket of assets (stocks, bonds, commodities, cryptos, etc.) that replicates the performance of an index or a sector.
It is traded on the stock exchange like a stock: you can buy or sell it at any time during the day.
It is often cheaper than a traditional fund (lower management fees).
Concrete example:
An S&P 500 ETF groups the 500 largest American companies.
â If you buy 1 share of this ETF, it's like owning a small piece of each of these 500 companies.
A gold ETF tracks the price of gold.
A Bitcoin ETF tracks the price of Bitcoin.
Advantages:
â Immediate diversification (you do not depend on a single stock).
â Reduced fees.
â Accessible (you can invest with little money).
â Liquid (easy to buy and sell).
Disadvantages:
â You do not choose the companies individually.
â Some ETFs can be complex (leveraged, inverseâŠ).
â You depend on the index (if the whole market drops, your ETF does too).
