What is an ETF savings plan?

An ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is a fund that is traded on a stock market. An ETF savings plan allows investors to plan for the future in small steps . Similar to a bank's savings plan, a specific amount is paid into the ETF on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.

How long should you leave money in an ETF?

Holding an ETF for longer than a year may get you a more favorable capital gains tax rate when you sell your investment.

Why would you want a mutual fund over an ETF?

As we covered earlier, infrequently traded ETFs could have wide bid/ask spreads, meaning the cost of trading shares of the ETF could be high. Mutual funds, by contrast, always trade without any bid-ask spreads .
