What are Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s)?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) consists of a pool of securities similar to Mutual Funds traded on an exchange. ETFs are continually priced and can be traded between the Equity market timings, i.e., between 9:15 AM and 3:30 PM. Buying/Selling ETFs is simply buying and selling any other stock on the exchange allowing the investors to take advantage of intraday price movements. Also, the charges applicable in ETF are lower compared to an actively managed Mutual Fund.
ETFs bought are displayed under the 'Holdings' Tab along with your other portfolio holdings.
Note: You cannot place orders during the Pre-Market timings i.e., between 9:00 AM and 9:08 AM.
