Let’s Talk About ETFs

There are thousands of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to choose from to help round out your portfolio.  At Firstrade, all of our ETFs are commission free and we make it easier to select the right ones for you.

In the current market, ETFs — baskets of stocks, bonds or commodities — have become increasingly valuable investment tools for self-directed investors seeking greater portfolio diversification, reduced risk, increased flexibility and tax efficiency through exchange-traded investing. Investors can choose from a wide array of funds in virtually any sector, industry or asset class. 

There are many ways to learn about ETFs, including published articles that provide an objective view. Recently, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance  analyzed 20 ETFs that could help you decide what works for you.
