What is an ETF?

An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) offers you the chance to invest in a diverse mix of assets like stocks and bonds. ETFs are highly liquid and available on the stock exchange, so you can buy or sell them whenever the market is open. It's a flexible way to participate in the market.

Benefits of TD ETFs

  • Diversification

    ETFs offer diversification within a broad market or a more focused sector, without having to buy and manage multiple stocks.

  • Flexible trading options

    Like stocks, ETFs can be traded any time the market is open to help you reach your investment goals.

  • Low costs

    In comparison with other investment funds, ETFs tend to be lower cost investment options. Investing is about helping you achieve your financial goals, after all.

  • Transparency

    If you ever wondered what’s in an ETF, it’s no secret. The holdings inside an ETF are published daily.
