Etf fund, the full name of "transactional open-end index fund", is an open-end fund with variable fund share, which is listed and traded on the exchange. Because it combines the operating characteristics of closed-end funds and open-end funds, many investors are very fond of etf funds.

Can etf funds be held for a long time?

Of course. After investors buy etf funds, they can sell them whenever they want, mainly depending on their own wishes. It should be noted that investors holding etf funds for a long time does not mean holding them. They still need to pay attention to the trend of etf funds and take profits in time at the right time, so as to maximize their income.

Can etf funds make money by holding them for a long time?

Not necessarily. Investors hold etf funds, and the income mainly comes from the bid-ask spread. If the buying and selling prices are the same, investors will not make money by holding etf funds. If the buying price is higher than the selling price, investors will lose money holding etf funds; If the buying price is lower than the selling price, then investors hold etf funds to make money.

Therefore, investors do not need to hold etf funds for a long time. They just need to find the right time to sell, in order to get the difference income. After all, the longer etf funds are held, the greater the risk.
