Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are baskets of securities that trade on exchanges, such as individual stocks. Investors and financial professionals typically like ETFs for their relatively low costs, tax efficiency, portfolio transparency, and trading flexibility.
Passively managed ETFs are designed to track indexes like the S&P 500 Index, while active ETFs give portfolio managers flexibility to pick individual securities based on their investment approach and usually seek to outperform a benchmark. ETFs have varying levels of portfolio transparency, ranging from fully transparent, semi-transparent, and non-transparent. The different levels of transparency depend on how much and frequently the ETFs disclose their portfolio holdings.
When selecting individual ETFs, investors typically base their decisions on several factors, including expense ratio, investment strategy, liquidity, ETF provider, performance, tracking error¹, and tax efficiency. This type of information can usually be found on an ETF provider’s website.
ETFs listed on exchanges can be bought and sold through almost any brokerage firm. Some brokers offer commission-free ETF trades, and investors can typically buy as little as one share of an ETF.
Both ETFs and mutual funds are pooled investment vehicles that give investors access to entire asset classes and sectors with professional management. However, unlike mutual funds, ETFs generally provide:

Investors should be aware of the material differences between mutual funds and ETFs. ETFs generally have lower expenses than actively managed mutual funds due to their different management styles. Most ETFs are passively managed and are structured to track an index, whereas many mutual funds are actively managed and thus have higher management fees. Unlike ETFs, actively managed mutual funds have the ability react to market changes and the potential to outperform a stated benchmark. Since ordinary brokerage commissions apply for each ETF buy and sell transaction, frequent trading activity may increase the cost of ETFs. ETFs can be traded throughout the day, whereas, mutual funds are traded only once a day. While extreme market conditions could result in illiquidity for ETFs. Typically they are still more liquid than most traditional mutual funds because they trade on exchanges. Investors should talk with their financial professional regarding their situation before investing.
A limit order is an order to buy a stock at or below a specified price, or to sell a stock at or above a specified price. A stop order is an order to buy or sell at the market when a definite price is reached, either above (on a buy) or below (on a sell) the price that prevailed when the order was given. Source: Nasdaq

Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart Beta represents an alternative and selection index-based methodology that seeks to outperform a benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, both in active or passive vehicles. Smart beta funds may underperform cap-weighted benchmarks and increase portfolio risk.
