Why Invest in ETFs
Diversification
1|
A diversified portfolio reduces your investment risk. As ETFs come as a
package of stocks, you automatically have diversification.
Liquidity
2|
ETFs can be traded like a stock. You can buy and sell ETFs throughout the
day, therefore, they are more liquid assets compared to mutual funds.
Lower Cost
3|
Buying an ETF is cheaper than buying individual stocks in the index tracked by
the ETF. It also incurs lower fees compared to mutual funds.
