Many investors find fund investing to be a sound alternative to the ups and downs that come with owning individual stocks. Names like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE: LLY) may be attractive, particularly when they deliver gains that outperform the market.
But what goes up, often goes down—sometimes sharply. For many investors, that kind of volatility can be unsettling.
That makes exchange-traded funds (ETFs) appealing. These funds trade like stocks but provide exposure to dozens of companies to help smooth out individual stock volatility.
ETFs can also provide exposure to a specific sector (e.g., artificial intelligence) without having to pick individual stocks. However, if you're investing exclusively in funds, you'll want to make sure that you allocate your money across a variety of funds to get broad exposure.
In this special presentation, we're highlighting seven ETFs that could be part of a diversified portfolio for fund investors. With each pick, we'll explain why we chose it and how it fits into a broader asset mix.
