ETFs are convenient investment vehicle for investors to gain exposure to their investment strategies. They can be used as portfolio construction tools or tactical trading instruments.
ETFs allow investors to reduce their concentration risk by spreading their investment capital across the underlying assets held by the ETFs, and they enable investors to diversify their portfolio at lower transaction costs.
