ETF and index fund are both open-end funds, which invest in a specific index in the stock market, so many investors can't tell the difference between them. So is ETF an index fund? What's the difference between them? What is the difference between the index funds brought by the following small series? I hope you like it.
1, the transaction mode is different.
ETF fund is an open-end fund and an on-site fund. Investors can buy and sell ETF funds directly in the secondary market by virtue of securities accounts, just like buying and selling stocks. Moreover, the ETF fund price is refreshed every 15 seconds, and investors buy and sell according to the real-time price of the fund.
Traditional open index funds cannot be traded in the secondary market, but can only be purchased and redeemed from fund companies or other fund consignment platforms. For example, make purchases or redemptions on online consignment platforms such as Tian Tian Fund Network and Alipay or offline consignment platforms such as banks. Moreover, the subscription and redemption price of index funds is subject to the closing price of the trading day.
2. The transaction scale is different.
In the primary market, the minimum subscription and redemption unit of ETF funds is generally 500,000 or 6,543.8+0,000, and share subscription and share redemption are adopted. Investors need to buy a basket of stocks corresponding to ETF fund constituent stocks, and what they get after redemption is also a basket of stocks. However, in the secondary market, the minimum buying units of ETF funds are 1 lot and 100 lot, and each purchase must be an integer multiple of 100 shares. The minimum change unit of ETF price declaration is 0.00 1 yuan.
Open-end index funds cannot be traded in the secondary market, but are directly issued by fund companies, and other consignment platforms can sell them on a commission basis. The subscription of index funds has thresholds of 65,438+0 yuan, 65,438+00 yuan and 65,438+0,000 yuan according to different fund products and different fund issuers.
3. The transaction rate is different.
ETF funds do not need to pay subscription fees and redemption fees when trading in the secondary market. The specific transaction fees are charged according to the transaction commission requirements of different securities companies. Generally, the commission for purchasing ETF funds is only a few ten thousandths, and stamp duty is not required. According to the regulations, the transaction fee of ETF fund in Shanghai Stock Exchange is not higher than 2.5‰ of the transaction amount and not lower than 0.085‰ of the transaction amount, starting from 5 yuan; The transaction fee of ETF fund of Shenzhen Stock Exchange is not higher than 2.5‰ of the transaction amount and not lower than 0. 1375‰, starting from 5 yuan.
The subscription and redemption of index funds require subscription fees and redemption fees, in addition to fund management fees, custody fees and other expenses. The specific charging standard will be different according to the different tracking indexes and the different operating costs of fund companies, and the specific needs shall be subject to the contract terms of index funds.
4. Tracking errors are different.
The tracking error of ETF is generally smaller than that of index fund.
Theoretically, ETFs can be operated in Man Cang, which can more accurately replicate the positions of the constituent stocks of the target index. In order to meet investors' demand for subscription and redemption, index funds generally need to reserve about 5% cash positions, so they cannot allocate positions completely according to the constituent stocks of the target index.
That's how experts usually operate.
Moving average stop loss method: the most commonly used stop loss method for retail investors is to stop loss by moving average. This is very simple. Take the breakthrough of a moving average as the opening point, and the breakthrough of a moving average as the stop point.
Fixed stop-loss stop-loss method: This fixed stop-loss and profit-taking method can also be operated in conjunction with the moving average system. Generally, the fixed stop loss and profit-taking position should be set reasonably. For example, yesterday's opening price, yesterday's closing price, today's opening price, today's highest price, today's lowest price, or the previous highest price and lowest price. Can be used as a reference position for stop loss and take profit.
Time stop loss method: this method mainly depends on luck, good luck or profit, and bad luck is the object of stop loss. Simply analyze the disk and decide whether it is empty or not. After entering the market for 5 minutes or a few minutes, whether it is profit or loss, the position will be closed immediately. This kind of operation is mainly based on ultra-short-term operation, but it still requires a higher sense of the spot. After all, if you have a strong sense of the disk, you will have a great chance to profit from entering the market. This method is just a way to control your inner rhythm over time.
