Exchange Traded Fund

Back to Index

 
Definition:
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of security that performs much like an index fund but is traded on a stock exchange. Typical ETFs look to provide a similar return to that of a particular market index, but other types (Leverage ETFs, Inverse ETFs) try to mirror daily returns of a securities index. Actively managed ETFs are more transparent by publishing their portfolio holdings on a daily basis.
