ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are investment vehicles that contain a mixture of assets, including stocks, commodities, and bonds. Essentially, they function as baskets that hold multiple financial instruments. The reason they are labeled as "exchange-traded" funds is due to the fact that they can be traded on an exchange, just like regular stocks.

ETFs can contain a range of stocks from various industries or can be focused on a particular one. If you are looking to invest in technology, for instance, you can search for technology-focused ETFs which include stocks from different tech companies.

ETFs are a good option for investors looking for safer investments as the variety of underlying asset classes makes them a popular choice for portfolio diversification.

There are hundreds of ETFs available on FlexInvest. You can invest in them just as if you were buying a regular stock. The best part is that you can start with as little as €5!

Investing in securities or other financial instruments always involves the potential of losing your money. FlexInvest recommends considering your investment objectives and risks before investing. For more information, please read our Risk Disclosures Statement and our Terms & Conditions.
