Intro to ETFs – What is an ETF and Why ETFs?

Structure of an ETF
ETFs seek to deliver the performance of a chosen index.They typically do this by holding the index constituent stocks at their index weights, or a representative sample (This is called physical replication)
References to the names and logos of each company mentioned is merely for explaining the investment strategy and should not be constructed as investment advice or investment recommendation of those companies.

What is an ETF? Two great investment ideas brought together
DiversifiedTradable during the
day
Diversified funds that trade like
stocks
ETFs
Stock Like a Mutual Fund
Like a stock Trading flexibility intraday on the exchange Options frequently available
Like an index fund Constructed to track benchmark indexes Low expense ratios
What sets ETFs apart? The creation/redemption process enables the
unique benefits of ETFs such as liquid access
Familiar ground…best of both worlds Two great investment ideas brought together
With short sales, an investor faces the potential for unlimited losses as the security's price rises. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of an ETF will develop or be maintained. Transactions in shares of the iShares Funds will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. iShares Funds are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders. Diversification may not protect against market risk or loss of principal.

An ETF is an index tracker

The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested.
