An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a low-fee investment vehicle traded daily on stock exchanges. An ETF tracks a specific index, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. We, at Alhambra Investments, use ETFs to track these indices as efficiently as possible, whose minute fees and non-existent sales charges help maximize total returns. Learn more about ETFs below.
