Fondo cotizado (ETF)

An ETF is a basket of investments that trades on an exchange like a stock.

Por qué importa

ETFs can make diversification easier and often provide lower-cost access to broad markets.

Ejemplo simple

Buying one broad-market ETF can give you exposure to hundreds of companies in a single purchase.

Errores comunes

  • Assuming every ETF is low-risk just because it is diversified.
  • Ignoring ETF strategy differences (broad market vs sector vs leveraged).
  • Overtrading ETFs intended for long-term investing.
