An ETF is an investment that trades on the stock market and holds multiple assets, like stocks, bonds, commodities, or a mixture of all of them. An etf is different from an individual stock, as one single etf can hold thousands of different stocks, bonds, and commodities. The most important thing to consider when choosing an etf broker is to choose the account type that you open within the broker. Once you have narrowed down your selection to a few select etfs, you can use the etf database to find information on each etf, including its popular content centers, market sectors, and asset classes.
• 00:05:00 An etf profile is a helpful tool for researching which ETFs to invest in. Every ETF has something in common, such as a summary of what the fund does and what its goals are. When looking at an etf profile, pay attention to the fund's index, the Sharpe ratio, and the fund's investment goal.

The presenter introduces the concept of portfolio correlation, and explains that when two securities have a high correlation, it is generally a bad thing for an investor's portfolio. The presenter provides an example of a correlated pair of assets, and advises against investing in both assets at the same time. The presenter recommends investing in a diversified mixture of assets, rather than just one correlated asset.
• 00:20:00 An ETF is a type of mutual fund, which trades on exchanges like stocks and bonds. ETFs have low correlation with one another, making them a good way to diversify a portfolio. When you receive dividends from an ETF, the money is automatically deposited into your brokerage account's settlement fund, which prevents it from being "just sitting there doing nothing." To set up a dividend reinvestment plan (DIP), which will reinvest dividends back into buying more shares of the ETF, you will need to speak to your broker. ETFs have grown in popularity in recent years, and there are many resources available online to help you start investing.
