DEFINITION of 'Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)'. An ETF, or exchange traded fund, is a marketable security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets like an index fund. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold.
ETF stands for exchange traded funds. It is a portfolio of  stocks or bonds that is sold to investors on open exchanges. The  investor purchases these shares through a brâ¦oker. ETFs are often  inexpensive and are generally indexed to a particular published  benchmark. They are not mutual funds however. Unlike mutual funds,  when the investor buys a share in an ETF, the portfolio does not  change. The price of the ETF or net asset value (NAV) can be found  throughout the trading day.
