Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ETF?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a basket of assets—such as stocks, bonds, or commodities—and trades on a stock exchange, just like individual stocks. ETFs offer diversification, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
How is an ETF different from a mutual fund?
While both offer diversification, ETFs can be bought and sold throughout the day at market prices, like stocks. Mutual funds, on the other hand, are priced only once per day after the market closes. ETFs also tend to have lower management fees and greater tax efficiency.
Are ETFs a good choice for beginners?
Yes, ETFs are often recommended for new investors due to their simplicity, affordability, and built-in diversification. Index ETFs, in particular, offer exposure to broad markets with minimal fees and low risk.
What are the risks associated with ETFs?
Like any investment, ETFs come with risks. Market risk, sector-specific risk, and price volatility can impact returns. The level of risk depends on the type of ETF you choose (e.g., equity, bond, thematic). It’s important to match your ETF choice with your risk tolerance and investment goals.
Do ETFs pay dividends?
Many ETFs—especially those tracking dividend-paying stocks or bonds—distribute income regularly to investors. You can choose to receive dividend payouts or reinvest them for compound growth.
How do I invest in ETFs through The Guardian Assets?
You can start by scheduling a consultation with one of our financial advisors. We’ll help assess your goals and recommend ETF options that align with your financial plan. Once you’re ready, you can open an account and begin investing with ease.
Are there fees for investing in ETFs?
ETFs typically have low expense ratios, especially compared to actively managed funds. Some trading fees may apply depending on the platform and ETF selected, but our advisors will ensure transparency before you invest.
Can I sell my ETF anytime?
Yes. ETFs are traded throughout the day on stock exchanges, which means you can buy or sell at any time during market hours. This provides added flexibility compared to other fund types.
