ETFs may have lower management fees than comparable mutual funds. And, with such a wide variety of ETFs with different asset allocations to choose from—including funds that combine equities with fixed income and even cryptocurrency—there are ETFs for a range of investors, from conservative to aggressive. You can choose ETFs that try to replicate an entire stock index, such as the S&P 500, or focus on a specific sector or geographical region. Most ETFs are passively managed, but a growing number of funds are actively managed.
Plus, you can hold ETFs in both non-registered and registered investment accounts. Examples of registered accounts include the registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), tax-free savings account (TFSA) and first home savings account (FHSA).
