What’s an ETF?
An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that can hold thousands of investments such as shares or bonds. They often track a specific index, like the FTSE 100 or the S&P 500.
Why choose an ETF?
Low-cost, simple investing helps set you up for investment success.
Low cost
ETFs are often cheaper than regular funds. This is because they can have a slightly lower ongoing charges figure (OCF).
Simple
An ETF can give you access to a wide range of investments in a single fund. So there’s less to think about and manage.
Diversified
ETFs can hold thousands of shares or bonds in different companies, sectors and regions. It gives your money a better chance to grow.
What’s the difference between an ETF and a mutual fund?
Successful investors tend to invest for the long term and avoid reacting to market swings. But there may be a time when you want to buy or sell at the current market price.
You can do this with an ETF as they trade like shares on stock exchanges, such as the London Stock Exchange. You can buy and sell them at any time of the trading day at a known price.
Mutual funds are usually only traded once a day. You can request to buy or sell them at any time, but it won’t actually happen there and then. It’ll go through at the next 'trade point' – usually the end of the day.
