Introduction
ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) are a product that grew extraordinarily in the last decade and it continues to draw the attention of many investors. The secret of their success is probably due to many different factors and their high impact, as well as their simplicity and accessibility.
In practice, ETFs can be compared to stocks, because they can be traded in the major financial markets and bought and sold with the same easiness. At the same time, they can offer a very strong diversification, as they can reproduce specific sectors of the economy, such as stocks, indexes, commodities, and bonds.
Apart from their varieties, ETFs stand out for their interesting operational flexibility. As you can see later, some of these ETFs allow you to implement strategies, such as short sales and other complex financial tools, which may increase their operation and make a profit in market conditions that are usually seen as negative.
These reflections can explain why ETFs have been very successful and why millions of people are using them to manage their own investments.
This guidebook, which we have entitled An Easy Approach to ETFs, wants to achieve several goals:
• Provide you with a useful introduction that can really explain what ETFs are.
• Introduce you in the ETFs world in a simple and accessible way, by explaining you their functions, their trading characteristics, and the main assessment strategies to produce and manage a portfolio.
• Provide you with the information you will need to learn the trading basics of ETFs.
While you are reading this guidebook, some basic ideas will be resumed several times in order to help you understand and learn this topic. Please read this guidebook without skipping any paragraph, since each issue or chapter is related to the following. The book has been designed for those who have no specialized knowledge in this field as well as for power traders who will have the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge and revise all the issues they could not have used for a long time.
So, keep on reading!

In accordance with these characteristics, the value of an ETF will be very similar – but not necessarily identical – to the net patrimonial value of the tools that lead to this fund investment.
Thanks to this short introduction, it is easy to see why this tool is so attractive for a long-term investor and the most experienced
