ETF

An ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks an index, such as the FTSE MIB or the S&P 500: with a single purchase you invest in many securities at once.

ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are bought and sold like a share, during market hours. They usually have low costs and make diversification easy: an ETF on a world index contains thousands of companies from dozens of countries.
