What is an ETF?

More about a time-saving super stock: ETFs

As a quick recap, ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) let investors purchase multiple stocks as one 🤩

Just like buying a carton of eggs instead of purchasing 12 individually 🥚

ETFs can group stocks based on industry, company location or even specific commodities like gold 🥇

Picking stocks can be confusing and time consuming 😨

ETFs help you invest in 100s of stocks with one purchase ⚡

Plus, ETF stocks are researched by professional investors 🤓

ETFs are also pretty influential 🤩

ETFs like SPY and VOO are even used as a benchmark, or reference, for the entire stock market! 🧮

ETFs and Diversification go hand in hand 🤝

By investing in multiple stocks at once, you can reduce risk in the long run, without having to research 100s of stocks! 🦺

Many ETFs also offer dividends, or quarterly payouts to investors just for keeping the stock 🤯

So, now you know that ETFs have tons of benefits 🏦
