One of hottest products in the financial markets are ETF’s which open the door to investors of all levels. If you want to buy gold or oil perhaps an ETF is the best method for you. Perhaps you wish to invest in Lithium, which is not available on the commodities markets, you can do this via ETFs. An exchange-traded fund is an investment vehicle that trades on an exchange. Like a mutual fund, an ETF is a bundle of securities, but instead of being priced based on net assets at the end of each trading day, ETFs are listed on intraday trading exchanges and can be bought and sold throughout the day. Most ETFs are index funds that passively track a benchmark.

It is very difficult to beat the market picking individual stocks or investing in an actively-managed mutual fund especially after incurring the fees associated with both.  So, with investing, it’s usually best to live by the maxim: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” The fact is that you’re not likely to beat the market. But you can match the market with index ETFs.
