Exchange traded funds or ETFs are investment funds that track an index, bond, commodity, or basket of assets and are traded on exchanges much like stocks. In India, ETFs were introduced in 2002 but gained significant traction after the Indian government recognized them as an asset class in 2013. In this video, I present a beginner's guide to ETFs with a focus on the benefits of using ETFs, how I use ETFs, the concerns/drawbacks, expense structure of ETFs, types of ETFs, costs, liquidity, tracking error, impact cost etc. I also look at the comparison of ETFs with mutual funds esp. index funds and why it is important to considering ETFs as a viable investment option while being mindful of potential risks and costs
