Are ETFs open-end or closed-end investment companies?

According to SEC website: Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are investment companies that are legally classified as open-end companies or Unit Investment Trusts (UITs). However, because of the limited redeemability of ETF shares, ETFs are not considered to be-and may not call themselves-mutual funds, and differ from traditional open-end companies and UITs in the following respects: ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares in large blocks (blocks of 50,000 shares, for example) that are known as "Creation Units." Investors generally do not purchase Creation Units with cash. Instead, they buy Creation Units with a basket of securities that generally mirrors the ETF's portfolio. Those who purchase Creation Units are frequently institutions. After purchasing a Creation Unit, an investor often splits it up and sells the individual shares on a secondary market. This permits other investors to purchase individual shares (instead of Creation Units). Investors who want to sell their ETF shares have two options: (1) they can sell individual shares to other investors on the secondary market, or (2) they can sell the Creation Units back to the ETF. In addition, ETFs generally redeem Creation Units by giving investors the securities that comprise the portfolio instead of cash. So, for example, an ETF invested in the stocks contained in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) would give a redeeming shareholder the actual securities that constitute the DJIA instead of cash.


What is received commission?

commission is a system of payment when you are successful in exchanging goods of services. so if you sell an product, you will get a certain percentage of the profit or an agreed amount. this is to encourage people to try and sell more, because how much you make is parallel to how much you sell.

What are the main differences between ETFs and Mutual Funds?

The truth is you need to invest in the fund that will make you the most money. Look at rankings monthly Both ETFs and Mutual Funds allow for broad diversification or narrow sector concentration (e.g., industry, country, foreign currency, debt instead of equity) by a purchase of one single holding. They can be described as "baskets of stocks" that have some kind of common "theme." There are however several main differences: ETFs trade on exchanges like stocks and can be bought and sold at any time during the exchange trading sessions, although some of them may be extremely thinly traded. Mutual Funds, on the other hand, have to be usually redeemed or purchased only at the Net Asset Value, based on closing prices for the day. Thus, if there is a negative event, you cannot use an automated sell stop and have to ride the prices all the way to the day's close. Nevertheless, the problems with liquidity under normal economic conditions are very rare with Mutual Funds. Unlike many Mutual Funds, ETFs do not have minimums to invest, minimum holding periods or early withdrawal fees. Mutual Funds are likely to have different classes of shares A/B/or C, which may have to be held for a certain minimum time to avoid fees when selling (sometimes 2 to 3 years, or more). Both ETFs and Mutual Funds deduct managerial and operational expenses from your (growing or shrinking) investment, but when compared especially to Load Mutual Funds, ETFs on average have lower such deductions. ETF trades, on the other hand, will be garnished with brokerage commission fees. However, nowadays, at discount online brokers they are almost negligible. Highly liquid ETFs, those with large daily volumes, are complemented with options that trade on Options Exchanges. Such options may be useful in hedging larger or riskier positions. Mutual Funds are not optionable. Mutual Funds usually cannot be bought on margin or sold short by an investor. This can be done easily with ETFs. Also, all ETFs are available through almost any broker. That is not always true about Mutual Funds that have specific agreements with different brokerage houses. Unlike Mutual Funds, ETFs may be highly leveraged, buy on margin or trade options, employ short selling, or use complicated derivatives to achieve, for example, inverse performance of given indices (e.g., SKF). This may be useful for anybody wanting to employ leverage in IRA or 401K accounts.
