I’ve blogged about Raiz (previously Acorns Australia) a few times now, and in some of those blogs, I make mention of ETF’s. Now, if I’m completely honest, I had to go and look it up myself to find out what ETF stands for and what an ETF actually is. It’s something that gets thrown around a lot on investment platforms like Acorns and within investment circles in general. Acorns and similar platforms make share-trading, bonds and the money market accessible for the everyday low-budget investor. Within the investment portfolio’s of these platforms, there are often ETF’s. In fact, Acorns portfolios are made up exclusively of ETF’s. For someone new to investments though, the question becomes, what exactly is an ETF?
