Sorry but what's the difference between ETFs and index funds? It was presented to me as the same thing just one word being more common in Europe and the other more common in the US.
- morgante 11y agoETFs are exchange traded funds are just that: investment funds which trade on an exchange, where you can invest and divest by trading a symbol. Index funds are investment funds which seek to match the performance of a target index. The concepts are orthogonal. You can have index funds which aren't ETFs and you can have ETFs which aren't index funds.
