Investment Management on ETF. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are pooled investment vehicles that track the market performance of underlying financial indexes and commodities. They are single securities listed on stock exchanges and can therefore be traded like a company share. In essence, one ETF share captures the performance of a diverse range of securities that constitute a financial index, or give exposure to a commodity without the explicit problems associated with storing it. ETFs facilitate easy exposure to an extremely wide range of investments, including specific stockmarkets, industrial sectors, regions, asset classes and investment strategies, such as dividends or even foreign currency pairs. They can be traded at any time ‘intra-day’ i.e throughout the opening hours of stockmarkets, at a low cost in exactly the same way as stocks and shares. They can also be traded at the end of a trading day through the ‘primary’ market with ETF issuers.
