What’s ETFs (exchange-traded funds)?

ETFs are investment funds (mutual funds) that are listed on stock exchange and may consist of several asset classes, such as equities, bonds, currency (forex) instruments, commodities etc.

By just one investment you can get a basket of products: from stocks, bonds to commodities and currencies.
ETF assets are distributed across a range of investment instruments resulting in increased diversification and potentially reduced investment risk.

A major part of investors lack time or knowledge to keep track of each stock of companies representing the field they’re interested in.
Investing in ETFs saves time and gives an opportunity to invest in industries or indexes that you find interesting and feel confident about.

During stock exchange trading session, ETFs are traded just like company stocks.
ETF units can be purchased and sold quickly in the preferred quantity at a price acceptable to you.

ETFs, just like any other investment instrument, are also subject to various risks, such as legislative risk, currency risk, tax risk, interest rate risk and others.
It is important to be aware of those risks and to assess them on a continuous basis*.
