  • A stock
    No, that’s not right.
  • A group of stocks, bonds, or commodities
    No, that’s only partly right.
  • An index
    No, that’s only partly right.
  • Both 2. and 3
    That’s right!

Which of these does an ETF NOT give investors?

  • A return close to that of the index it is tracking
    No, that’s not right.
  • Dividends on the stocks in its portfolio
    No, that’s not right.
  • Voting rights for the stocks in its portfolio

    No, that’s not right.

An ETFs return might differ from the index it’s tracking. Why is that?

    No, that’s only partly right.

    That’s right!
