ETF

Abbreviation for Exchange Traded Fund. A security that represents a basket of assets, typically the constituents of a major share-market index such as the S&P500, that can be traded on an exchange, sold short or be bought on margin. ETFs trade like a stock and also allow investors to diversify their risk over a broad spread of assets.
