If you've stayed away from ETFs because they sound complicated, now is the time to see how we make ETF trading easier. ETFs are essentially a basket of investments that trade like stocks, providing diversification at a low cost. They also have the diversity of a managed fund, but with higher liquidity and usually lower fund management fees. Benefits include:

• Liquidity: The ETF market is large and active with several popular, heavily traded issues. This makes it easier to get in and out of trades. However, liquidity varies greatly, and some narrowly focused ETFs are illiquid.

• Choices: There is a huge variety of ETFs to choose from across different asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. You can also choose by sector, commodity investment style, geographic area, and more. Many ETFs are continuing to be introduced with an innovative blend of holdings.

• Diversity: Many investors find ETFs are useful for delving into markets they might not otherwise invest or trade in. Since they are baskets of assets and not individual stocks, ETFs allow for a more diverse approach to investing in these areas, which may help mitigate the risks for many investors.
