PortWhat Is an ETF?
A fund traded like a stock that tracks the performance of an index, sector, or commodity.
Explanation
When you buy one unit of an ETF, you indirectly own the basket of assets the fund holds—sometimes hundreds of companies at once. It's the simplest way to achieve broad diversification without buying each company individually.
ETFs are categorized, among other ways, into accumulating (dividends are reinvested in the fund) and distributing (dividends are paid out to your account). The most important parameter you know upfront is the management fee.
Example
An S&P 500 index ETF with an annual fee of 0.07% provides exposure to 500 of the largest US companies at a cost of 7 PLN per year for every 10,000 PLN invested.
