What is an ETF?
A basket of stocks or bonds that trades like a single stock.
Definition
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is an investment fund that holds a collection of stocks, bonds, commodities, or other assets.
Core Purpose
ETFs give you diversification in a single trade. Instead of buying 100 individual tech stocks, you buy one tech ETF and own a slice of all 100.
How They Work
A fund company creates an ETF tied to an index (like the S&P 500 or a tech sector index). They buy all the stocks in that index, bundle them together, and issue shares. You own a proportional slice of everything inside.
Balance
Because one ETF spreads your money across every holding in its index, a weak stock is offset by the rest. That balance is what steadies a portfolio: you carry the market’s direction rather than the fortunes of any single company.
