List of ETFs - From Sector to Regional and Country ETFs
All You Need To Know About Etfs ETFs are Exchange Traded Funds. They are very versatile instruments. Below is a fairly comprehensive list of the most popular ETFs. Click on any of your choice to open a catalogue of those particular ETFs. ETFs track an underlying product or basket of products. They track the likes of Indexes such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, regions, sectors, commodities including gold and oil etfs, bonds, countries and other asset classes . ETFs can even be used for shorting (selling) the market or a product. Short ETFs enable investors to profit from declines in an underlying product without directly selling short any securities. Rather, they just buy the Short ETF which would profit as that product declines. Some Distinct Advantages of ETF’s - ETFs generally provide diversification.
- They have all the features of ordinary stocks, such as limit orders, short selling, and options.

- Many have Morningstar Rating just like Mutual Funds.
ETF’s generally trade as iShares, SPDRs and ETF’s.
