Considerations
An exchange trade fund (ETF) is an investment vehicle made up of a fixed portfolio of stocks that usually matches a particular stock index, or tracks a specific sector of the stock market. They are generally fixed pools with little or no management activity. An ETF is typically taxed as a mutual fund under tax rules for regulated investment companies and its shares are generally treated as stock for tax purposes.
