Is ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) really risky or not? Do you know that it may open a long-term investment path? Let's find out the article below!
What are ETFs?
ETF stands for Exchange Traded Fund. ETFs typically represent a sector or an economy. Therefore, when you invest in ETFs, you are investing in an entire industry, not just a single product.
To make it easier to imagine, when you invest in a mixed financial market ETF consisting of Forex, Metals, Commodities, Stocks, Indices,... This means you are investing in ETFs with a diversified portfolio structure of financial asset classes. That's the biggest difference between investing in an ETF and trading one of the regular asset classes.
However, there are some exceptions ETFs sometimes track only an index, single commodities, etc.
History of ETF
ETFs are financial products created in 1993 in the US when Nathan Most and Steven Bloom developed the S&P SPDR Deposit Receipts index. However, it did not resonate much at the time because it was thought that it was just a financial instrument.
One of the first people to build the Exchange Traded Fund was the Economist Harry Markowitz. His original idea was to create an investment fund that was listed on the world's most popular stock index: the S&P 500 Index.
In 1996, iShares was born and offered ETF portfolios on many European, Asian and American stock indices. iShares is the world's largest ETF, with over 300 options for traders and investors.
The emergence of ETFs has made it easier than ever for retail investors to access ETF portfolios with capital. Today, this SPDRs ETF has become the largest ETF certificate of the more than 170 ETFs in existence in the US with a total value of more than $43.3 billion.
The success of ETFs led the market to create a gold ETF in 2004 called Gold SPDR (GLD).
Today approximately $3 billion is traded in the ETF market every day, making it one of the highly liquid markets that compete with Forex. So what if the Forex market also listed ETFs? Is the scale going to get bigger?
How do ETFs work?
Just like stocks, ETFs are listed on a stock exchange. That means traders can buy and sell ETFs while the exchange is open. ETFs also have tickers and intraday prices.
