The ETF Report

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of pooled investment security that operates much like a mutual fund. Typically, ETFs will track a particular index, sector, commodity, or other asset, but unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be purchased or sold on a stock exchange the same way that a regular stock can. An ETF can be structured to track anything from the price of an individual commodity to a large and diverse collection of securities. ETFs can even be structured to track specific investment strategies.

The ETF industry has never had a better year than 2024 as investors gravitated towards active funds as well as Bitcoin ETFs, which made a splash in January after receiving SEC approval for the first time.

Financial firms have pulled back on offering ESG investment funds amid a regulatory crackdown and investors looking for other ETFs that can provide better returns.
