🌱 ETF stands for exchange-traded fund. It is essentially a pooled investment fund that passively tracks an index of stocks or bonds. The ETF buys each of the underlying stocks or bonds that comprise such index.

🌱 The philosophy behind using ETFs is that you will hold shares in many large, global companies. This allows for greater diversification of your investment, lower fees and better liquidity.

🌱 ETFs are a good option for building a savings plan and investing for the long term. By investing a fixed sum in ETFs monthly, you can avoid stress and rely on long term market growth without the need to monitor market movements daily.

🌱 There are already thousands of sustainable funds around the world, but the focus of ESG funds on sustainability and impact varies a lot. So you need to look beyond the label and get to know different sustainable investing strategies.
