What is the Exchange Traded Funds (ETF)?

ETFs are the exchange-traded funds, which are actually index funds, which are bought and sold just like stocks in the stock exchange. ETF, which is a worldwide traded fund, is a very popular investment destination for retail investors and institutional investors. We can say that this is a cheap investment instrument because the charges in this fund are generally lower than other funds. You can buy them from your broker or directly from the fund house. Where mutual funds are taken at the end of the day at the NAV, only ETF trading hours can be bought and sold at the actual prices of trading at that time. That is, day trading is also possible in the ETF.
