We once talked about a special index fund, that is, the transactional open index fund, namely —etf fund. Its meaning has been explained in detail before, but today in this article we mainly discuss how to buy and sell etf funds above the market. What aspects should we pay attention to when buying and selling this kind of securities? And other issues for detailed analysis and understanding. I hope those investors who want to make this investment can learn some useful knowledge in the next reading process, so it is now or never. Let's take a look together.

for etf fund, its meaning is different from that of investment fund market, mainly because its operation process combines the characteristics of both open-end fund and closed-end fund, and it is an open-end fund with variable share that can be listed on the exchange.

it is mainly different from the following aspects: an investor can purchase and redeem such funds in a fund management company, and can also buy and sell such funds in the secondary market; Second, this kind of fund is not traded in cash, mainly in exchange for a basket of stocks and fund shares, representing the ownership of a basket of stocks; Third, it is a passive investment behavior, because it is an index fund, that is, when trading, the trend of price and fund share net value is the same as the tracked index. Generally speaking, investors buy an etf fund, which is equivalent to buying the index it tracks, so to a certain extent, this investment method is less risky.

Because of its stability, lower risk and lower cost compared with stocks, retail investors in the general market are particularly interested in this investment method. Because it is index funds, investors do not need a lot of information and a higher level of operation. How do these small and medium-sized retail investors buy and sell etf funds? There are mainly the following steps:

1. Generally speaking, etf funds can be bought by investors on and off the market.

2. If you are a novice investor who has just entered the securities market, it is recommended that you conduct such fund transactions off-site. Go to some fund agencies and software platforms, such as banks, which are off-site purchase places for funds. The reason for this is that you may enjoy the maximum discount price. If you open an account online, try to choose some low commission fees.

3. As mentioned above, general etf funds can be traded on and off the market, but there are still some etf funds that can only be traded off the market, that is, ETF-linked funds.

The above shows us how to buy and sell etf funds by retail investors in the market. What should investors pay attention to in the process of buying and selling? There are mainly the following points:

1. If you want to make short-term investments, it is best to cooperate with the operations of fund purchase and redemption in the primary market and trading in the secondary market, and repeat these steps for many times. Generally, investors can get certain income and improve their own funds without occupying a lot of funds.

2. If you want to make a long-term investment, you should know in advance that in the process of managing the fund for a long time, it will gradually change from passive management to active management. At this time, the probability that investors will beat the selected index will become smaller, and because the cost of the index fund is low, the compound interest will have a significant impact and increase the relative income level of the index fund.

3. It's a matter of timing. A good opportunity will make you get twice the result with half the effort. Usually, when we increase or decrease the ETF, we actually increase or decrease the stock position, because as mentioned above, ETF is a combination formed by tracking the constituent stocks of the underlying index. In this way, when the market changes, we can directly increase or decrease ETFs to avoid the trouble of multiple stock delivery, reduce the impact on stock prices and get in and out of the market quickly.
