Understanding the Basics of ETFs

ETFs offer a three-dimensional investment approach compared to stocks (one-dimensional) and mutual funds (two-dimensional). They provide increased indexability and flexibility, allowing investors to slice and dice different markets and sectors. ETFs can be used to track market trends and offer a wide range of investment choices, with over 3000 ETFs available. They also provide liquidity and can be implemented without using leverage.
