Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Most exchange traded funds function like an index fund. For example, let's say you buy an S&P 500 Index exchange traded fund; that fund will own all 500 stocks listed in the S&P 500 index. It will not trade in and out of those stocks—it simply owns the stocks listed in the index. By buying a share of the fund your money is instantly diversified across all of the underlying stocks. 6, record 5, English, - exchange%2Dtraded%20fund
