What is an ETF?
ETFs are exchange-traded funds that are traded on the stock exchange in the same way as stocks. ETFs are usually passive funds that track a specific stock index, which measures the performance of a certain market, geographic area, or industry, for example.
ETFs act as market makers. Therefore, in addition to other investors' sell and buy offers, each ETF has continuous buy and sell offers from the issuer or its partner. The price of an ETF does not fluctuate solely based on market movements; instead, the guarantors aim to price the ETF as close as possible to the fund's true value.

ETFs vs. regular funds
The closest alternative investment product to an ETF is an index fund. Both ETFs and index funds can track, for example, a specific stock index. For this reason, the costs of both ETFs and index funds are often lower than those of actively managed funds.
A disadvantage compared to active funds is that when investing in ETFs and index funds, you cannot beat the index. The aim of an actively managed fund is to beat its benchmark index, which can provide the investor with higher returns on their investments.
A passive ETF is a good option if you, as an investor, are looking for an easy way to diversify your investments.
