ETF: Exchange traded funds are like mutual funds but they trade on a stock exchange. They are also cheaper to buy than mutual funds because they aren’t managed by professionals. It’s a way to get exposure to a bunch of different stocks by buying just one thing. So, you want exposure to technology stocks? You can get an ETF for that—many, actually. There’s an ETF for almost any type of investment you want to make. (See also: Mutual Fund)
