1. exchange traded fund

   An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund and exchange-traded product, i.e. they are traded on stock exchanges. ETFs are similar in many ways to mutual funds, except that ETFs are bought and sold from other owners throughout the day on stock exchanges whereas mutual funds are bought and sold from the issuer based on their price at day's end. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, futures contracts, and/or commodities such as gold bars, and generally operates with an arbitrage mechanism designed to keep it trading close to its net asset value, although deviations can occasionally occur. Most ETFs are index funds: that is, they hold the same securities in the same proportions as a certain stock market index or bond market index. The most popular ETFs in the U.S. replicate the S&P 500, the total market index, the NASDAQ-100 index, the price of gold, the "growth" stocks in the Russell 1000 Index, or the index of the largest technology companies. With the exception of non-transparent actively managed ETFs, in most cases, the list of stocks that each ETF owns, as well as their weightings, is posted daily on the website of the issuer. The largest ETFs have annual fees of 0.03% of the amount invested, or even lower, although specialty ETFs can have annual fees well in excess of 1% of the amount invested. These fees are paid to the ETF issuer out of dividends received from the underlying holdings or from selling assets. An ETF divides ownership of itself into shares that are held by shareholders. The details of the structure (such as a corporation or trust) will vary by country, and even within one country there may be multiple possible structures. The shareholders indirectly own the assets of the fund, and they will typically get annual reports. Shareholders are entitled to a share of the profits, such as interest or dividends, and they would be entitled to any residual value if the fund undergoes liquidation. ETFs may be attractive as investments because of their low costs, tax efficiency, and tradability.As of August 2021, $9 trillion was invested in ETFs globally, including $6.6 trillion invested in the U.S.In the U.S., the largest ETF issuers are BlackRock iShares with a 35% market share, The Vanguard Group with a 28% market share, State Street Global Advisors with a 14% market share, Invesco with a 5% market share, and Charles Schwab Corporation with a 4% market share.Closed-end funds are not considered to be ETFs, even though they are funds and are traded on an exchange. Exchange-traded notes are debt instruments that are not exchange-traded funds.

1. exchange traded fund

   An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund and exchange-traded product, traded on stock exchanges much like individual stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and aims to track the performance of a specific index. ETFs are offered at a price that is representative of the net asset value of the underlying holdings, and investors can buy or sell ETF shares throughout the trading day at market prices. ETFs offer the diversification benefits of mutual funds, with the added advantages of being tradable like a stock.

Examples of exchange traded fund in a Sentence

1. Tom Roseen:

   We had strong returns this week, but the mutual fund and [exchange-traded fund] investors weren't buying it, i don't think it's concerning at all but it tells us investors were taking some of that hard-won profit off the table.

3. Tom Graff:
