Their growth and demand is the result of the popularity of the index funds, which actual shares of companies in a particular sector. Index funds can be difficult to buy and sell for a variety of reasons, especially considering the relatively high cost for each share, the cumulative commissions on those shares and the potential difficulties in trying to sell them when you want. For these reasons and more, ETFs have emerged as an attractive option for investors looking to acquire interest in a market segment while still being able to have an agile portfolio.
