ETFs: Basics of ETFs & Why

The saying "never put all your eggs in one basket" is also relevant to investors. When you put all your money in just a few stocks, it comes with enormous risks. These risks can potentially be reduced by investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

By purchasing an ETF with a single trade, you buy a basket of shares containing dozens or hundreds of shares. This in turn spreads the risks. ETFs involve transparency: their holdings are disclosed on a daily basis which allow investors to know what they are buying.
