Exchange traded funds (ETFs)

What are ETFs

An exchange traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund that:

  • Pools multiple underlying assets, such as equities, bonds or commodities.
  • Can be bought and sold on an organised market, i.e. a stock exchange.

ETF prices keep fluctuating, as they are constantly traded in stock exchanges, just like shares, as opposed to ordinary mutual funds that trade only once a day after the markets close.

ETFs are a popular investment choice, as they offer portfolio diversification in 1 move. When buying an ETF, investors achieve easy and direct diversification in every share participating in the underlying reference index. For example, when buying the QQQ ETF, investors gain direct and weighted exposure to the 100 shares composing the Nasdaq 100 index.

By investing in ETFs you can gain exposure to:

  • A geographical area (e.g. USA, euro area, China, Latin America etc.)
  • An industry (e.g. automotive, real estate, transport, e-commerce etc.)
  • Special investments (e.g. green energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, space, defence industry etc.)

Who they are addressed to

ETFs are addressed to investors who want to:

  • Diversify their portfolio and reduce total risk.
  • Achieve capital gains, accepting the risk of losing part of their investment.
  • Gain easy exposure to a specific geographical area or industry.
  • Carry out fast and easy transactions at a lower cost.

Depending on the composition of its portfolio, an ETF may be addressed to investors with a conservative, balanced or aggressive investment profile.
