ETFs
Why invest in ETFs?
Enhanced diversification
ETFs1 can provide diversified exposure to different asset classes, geographies, sectors and themes, while also offering investors access to a broad set of investment styles, such as passive, systematic and fundamental approaches. This may help to reduce portfolio volatility relative to investing in individual securities.
Flexibility and transparency
Unlike other investment vehicles, ETFs can be readily bought and sold during trading hours on exchanges at current market prices. Most ETFs also disclose their portfolio holdings daily.
Cost-effectiveness
ETFs tend to have lower management fees than mutual funds,2 which can help to improve return potential over the long term.
