Why investors choose ETFs

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment that gives you exposure to a variety of stocks, bonds, or other investments through a single purchase. Some ETFs offer broad diversification across many investments, while others focus on a specific market, industry, asset class, or investment strategy.

ETFs can help you:
 

  • Invest in many investments through one fund
  • Spread your investments across markets, sectors and asset classes
  • Buy and sell easily on the stock exchange 
  • Build a portfolio that fits your goals

Before choosing an ETF, think about:

 

  • Your investment goals

  • When you may need your money

  • How comfortable you are with market ups and downs

  • Whether you want investment advice
