Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on Stock Exchanges (eg SGX). Most ETFs generally aim to track indices. In other words, when investing in ETFs, you are effectively investing in the price movements of the component stocks in the underlying indices. Thus, ETFs give you the opportunity to buy or sell the entire portfolio of the component stocks as a single security.

To help you understand more about ETFs, you can read the articles below which will help you make more informed decisions when you trade ETFs.
