An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a collection of assets —such as stocks—that often tracks an underlying index, similar to an index mutual fund. However, ETFs can be traded on stock exchanges like stocks unlike MFs that only trade once in a day. ETFs may use various strategies and offer different options to investors, but the most popular ones are the ones that are built based on the composition of an index. E.g. – NIFTY50 and NASDAQ-100 Index-Tracking Stock.
