Mutual Funds versus ETFs
Mutual funds are bundles of stocks and bonds that are managed for you by a bank or investment firm. Traditionally, they’re taking a hands-on approach to try to beat the market.
With most ETFs, portfolio managers are trying to reproduce the holdings and performance of an index. They give investors diversified exposure to an index at a low cost.

In recent years, ETFs have been growing at a much faster rate than mutual funds. And there are a number of advantages to ETFs.
Exchange Traded Funds gives much more opportunity for investors to focus on a specific type of investment exposure that they're interested in having in their portfolios.
Further more, it allow you to have really simple exposures without too many decisions and keeping your portfolio as simple as you can.
In Addition, they are more transparent so investors will know what's going in and out of their portfolios every day.
ETFs can trade all day long instead of with a mutual fund just at the end of the day.
ETFs offer a number of advantages over traditional open-ended mutual funds in many respects, such as liquidity, tax efficiency, and low fees and commissions.
