What is ETFs?
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as commodities, stocks or bonds and generally operates with an arbitrage mechanism which is designed to keep it trading near to its net asset value, although deviations can occasionally occur. Most ETFs track an index, like bond or stock index. ETFs may be good as an investment due to their low costs, tax efficiency, and stock-like features. By the year 2013, ETFs had become the most profitable type of exchange-traded product.

How ETFs work?
ETF shares can be traded on the open stock market. ETF Shareholders can also respond to changes in the market in real time. An ETF acts like a mutual fund that can be traded openly on the stock exchange globally. ETFs have their own set of advantages and disadvantages
How ETFs are created?
An ETF is really a “basket” of multiple stocks and investment assets combined into a single investment. They can only be created by massive financial management institutions, one because of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and secondly because only these firms have assets which are necessary to put an ETF together.
Step 1
The company will plan out the ETF, selecting exactly what assets will be involved and details such as fees and the number of shares it’ll be creating.
Step 2
SEC approves the plan. and then authorized participants can begin to buy shares of the ETF.
ETFs don’t sell their shares separately instead, they sell large parts of shares called creation units, which may contain tens or even hundreds of thousands of shares.
Step 3
Creation units are traded for the similar amounts of the assets that the shares represent. These shares are pledged with a custodial bank, where a fund manager manage them and takes a small % of the fund’s profits.
