Abstract: AbstractExchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a basket of securities or commodities that can be traded throughout the day. ETFs are flexible investments for asset allocation, diversification and market tracking performance with low fees and tax efficiency. The growing popularity of ETFs is evident from the rapid growth in trading volume and the increasing expansion in product coverage over the past few years. ETFs track a wide variety of investment options across domestic and global markets, market capitalization, investment styles, and sectors. While ETFs that track the US broad-market indexes are the most popular class, US investors are ever more interested in ETFs that cover international indexes.
