About Exchange Traded Funds

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a security that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets like an index fund, but trades like a stock on an exchange. ETFs are a complement to actively managed funds and provide investors with the possibility to invest in well known global indices in the local currency. ETFs were first introduced in the USA in 1993 and in Europe in 2000. End of February 2010 there were 1,738 ETFs listed globally with over EUR 684 billion assets under management.
