What Are Exchange-Traded Funds?

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are an increasingly popular class of index funds that trade like stocks. They can be bought and sold throughout the marketday and they offer portfolio exposure to the world's leading indexes. An ETF enables a trader to trade a basket of stocks without commissions on each individual stock, allowing the trader to less expensively harness powerful hedging strategies, obtain exposure to entire sectors speculation trades, diversify company risk, etc.

Past performance is no indication of future results and returns are not guaranteed. Investment value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost.
Leveraged ETFs seek to provide a multiple of the investment returns of a given index or benchmark on a daily basis. Inverse ETFs seek to provide the opposite of the investment returns, also daily, of a given index or benchmark, either in whole or by multiples. Due to the effects of compounding and possible correlation errors, leveraged and inverse ETFs may experience greater losses than one would ordinarily expect. Compounding can also cause a widening differential between the performances of an ETF and its underlying index or benchmark, so that returns over periods longer than one day can differ in amount and direction from the target return of the same period. Consequently, these ETFs may experience losses even in situations where the underlying index or benchmark has performed as hoped. Aggressive investment techniques such as futures, forward contracts, swap agreements, derivatives, options, can increase ETF volatility and decrease performance. Investors holding these ETFs should therefore monitor their positions as frequently as daily.
Commodity-related products, including futures, carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Commodity-related products may be extremely volatile, illiquid and can be significantly affected by underlying commodity prices, world events, import controls, worldwide competition, government regulations, and economic conditions, regardless of the length of time shares are held. Investments in commodity-related products may subject the fund to significantly greater volatility than investments in traditional securities and involve substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value.
