Cambridge Corner: ETF Basket
Can you name an investment that acts like a stock but looks like a mutual fund? If you said “exchange-traded funds” (ETFs), you’re right on the money. ETFs typically consist of a “basket” of securities that mirrors a particular market index. Like stocks, ETFs trade on an exchange and can be bought or sold throughout the trading day. Since most ETFs are designed to follow an index, fund managers generally make changes to their investment lineup only when the underlying index changes. Because the goal is to match the performance of the index, fund expenses tend to be low.
