In the last 12 months, many investors have heard that this is a “stock picker's market." This means that there's a bigger gap between winning stocks and losing stocks. Some of the obvious winners were the Magnificent 7 stocks. But investors could find quality stocks in any sector, it just took time and research.
Many investors choose a different and easier approach: investing in one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds invest in a group (i.e., a basket) of stocks that are usually correlated to a particular index, like the S&P 500 index.
Based on retail and institutional investor demand, there are a diverse set of ETFs for you to consider. Some of these track a broad index, while others allow you to focus your investments on a specific sector. This can be a good way to get exposure to a red-hot sector without having to select specific stocks.
