An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a collection of hundreds or thousands of stocks or bonds in a single fund that trades on major stock exchanges. ETFs combine the diversification of mutual funds with lower investment minimum and real-time pricing. The beauty of ETFs is that they are extremely similar to mutual funds; the difference is you purchase these investments on your own with lower fees!
