Diversify with one trade

Instead of diversifying your portfolio with individual stocks, you can cover entire sectors with one ETF.

Pay less than a mutual fund

The majority of ETFs are passively managed—which means they typically have lower operating expense ratios (OERs) than mutual funds.

Invest with flexibility

Unlike mutual funds, you can buy and sell ETFs during regular market hours and extended-hours trading. Or, automate your buys with recurring investments.
