ETF is a kind of open-end fund, but it has its own characteristics.

The Chinese name of ETF is "transactional open index fund". There are two ways to buy ETFs. One is off-site subscription, which requires investors to purchase 6,543,800+0,000 shares of the Fund for exchange. Not suitable for ordinary retail investors, I will focus on another way of on-site purchase.

You can open an account in a securities company. I don't know if you stock. It's easy to speculate in stocks. Buy in the same way as stocks, starting from 100 shares, buy intraday, buy low and sell high to earn the difference. Like stocks, T+ 1 mode, buy today and sell tomorrow.

ETF is a good index fund, passively tracking the market index, and generally it will rise and fall with the market index. A successful ETF can be exactly the same as the underlying index as far as possible, that is, it can "copy" the index and let investors earn the return rate of the index with peace of mind.

Let's talk about index funds first:

He selected a number of high-quality representative stocks that occupy a relatively large market, such as the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Funds, that is, he selected 300 stocks from the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets 1500 stocks as the investment scope. You know, general funds are selected from this 1500 stock, while the scope of index funds is relatively clear. The Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 is 300 in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 is 50 high-quality stocks in the Shanghai market. Because the investment scope is certain, and the stocks within this scope are all high-quality stocks that have great influence on the stock market, the rise and fall of these funds have great influence on the stock market. For example, when ICBC such as China Petroleum rose a penny, the market rose a few points. Therefore, the net value of funds invested in these stocks will fluctuate with the market. Basically, when the market goes up, he goes up, and when the market goes down, he goes down. Other ordinary open-end funds have a slightly smaller relative impact. For example, the dark horse stock he bought exploded and rose. Although the market decline is due to the decline of these sample stocks in the same period, this fund can rise against the trend, which is impossible for index funds. Or we can look at the heavyweights, petrochemicals, banks and coal, which all rose sharply in June 5438+ 10, which are within the investment scope of index funds such as Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 and Shanghai 50, so the index funds all rose accordingly. Ordinary open-end funds did not increase these soaring stock investments in time, so many of them did not go up or even fell. This is the biggest feature of index funds, following the rise and fall of the stock market. For example, if you are admitted to a university and you choose 50 best students to form a class, then you have a high probability of being admitted to a university.

Risk of index fund: Because it closely follows the rise and fall of the market, if the market falls, its decline may be much higher than that of ordinary open-end funds.

Everything always has its opposite. If the stock market plummets, such as 165438+ 10, we will fall by more than 1000 points. Then index funds plunged. I remember that a 50ETF index fund I bought dropped from 4.67 cents to 3.7 1 cent. It's very big. In the same period, open-end funds are also falling, but the magnitude may not be that great.

The codes of the five exchange-traded funds are as follows:

Fund abbreviation

5 10050 50ETF

15990 1 deep 100ETF

5 10 180 180ETF

159902 SME ETF

5 10880 bonus ETF

The above is for your reference. This example recommends to you the 50ETF in my hand to track the Shanghai Composite Index. He selects 50 heavyweights on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and tracks their trends, which is basically the same as the Shanghai Stock Exchange index.
