What is an ETF?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a basket of securities that trades on a stock exchange like a single share. Instead of buying one company, you buy a slice of many. ETFs are cheaper than unit trusts, more transparent, and trade in real time.
Instant diversification
One ETF can hold dozens of securities across sectors and geographies.
Lower costs
ETF expense ratios are typically 0.15%–0.35% p.a. — far below traditional unit trusts.
Real-time trading
Buy and sell during NSE trading hours, just like a stock.
