ETFs are funds listed and traded on stock exchanges, which are commonly referred to as “listed investment trusts” in Japanese. Like stocks, investors can trade ETFs on stock exchanges through securities companies.
ETFs aim for “asset management linked to specified stock price indexes, etc.,” and as such, have the quality of very closely tracking the market prices of the underlying stock price index, etc.
