	Exchange-traded fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ETFs have been gaining popularity ever since they were introduced by the American Stock Exchange in the mid 1990s, beginning with SPY in 1993.
		In the U.S., whenever a mutual fund realizes a capital gain that is not balanced by a realized loss, the mutual fund must distribute the capital gains to their shareholders by the end of the quarter.
		The original ETFs were set up as competitors to open-ended index funds, and subsequent ETFs have usually followed in their footsteps: they typically have very low expense ratios compared to actively managed mutual funds.

	Frequently Asked Questions about ETFs
		In addition, the ETF investor can suffer from the usual costs of trading stocks, including differences in the ask-bid spread, unexecuted trades, etc. Of course, mutual fund investors are also subjected to the same trading costs indirectly, as their fund managers must pay costs to buy the stocks that are in the fund.
		While ETFs are tied to a basket of underlying stocks, the trading of the ETF is theoretically unrelated to the actual stocks it holds.
		Since ETFs, like stocks, are bought as shares through a broker, every time an investor makes a purchase he pays a commission to his broker of $8 and up depending on the broker and the amount of shares purchased.

	ETF Definition
		Because ETFs are traded on stock exchanges, they can be bought and sold at any time during the day (unlike most mutual funds).
		ETFs always bundle together the securities that are in an index; they never track actively managed mutual fund portfolios (because most actively managed funds only disclose their holdings a few times a year, so the ETF would not know when to adjust its holdings most of the time).
		A variety of funds cannot be classified as stock funds or bond funds, as some invest in both, and some invest in neither.

	Exchange-Traded Fund - ETF
		A security that tracks an index and represents a basket of stocks like an index fund, but trades like a stock on an exchange, thus experiencing price changes throughout the day as it is bought and sold.
		By owning an ETF, you get the diversification of an index fund as well as the ability to sell short, buy on margin and purchase as little as one share.
		Because it trades like a stock whose price fluctuates daily, an ETF does not have its net asset value (NAV) calculated every day like a mutual fund.
