About Exchange Traded Funds
Exchange Traded Funds are defined as marketable securities that track a specific commodity, bonds, index or a combination of assets such as index fund. ETFs can be traded on stock markets similar to shares thus ETF units witness price change in real time. On the other hand, unlike shares which represent investment in a specific company, an index ETF such as Bharat 22 Index ETF offers superior diversification. In many ways, an ETF combines the real time trading benefits of shares with the diversification benefit of mutual funds. Some of the key trading features supported by an ETF include:
-
Provides intra-day trading option
-
Allows limit order and stop order trades
-
May be used as collateral similar to securities (loan against securities)
-
Allows trades using margin money
