ETFs tend to follow indexes like the S&P 500, unlike mutual funds, which try to beat them. For example, if S&P 500 trades fifteen percent lower, the ETF that follows will decline by fifteen percent too. Likewise, if S&P 500 trades ten percent higher, the ETF that follows will trade ten percent higher.

The concept of investing in ETFs is new as compared to mutual fund investments. This new investment arena provides great opportunities as currently there are very few investors with the necessary skill and knowledge. So, if you are one of the early birds to invest in ETFs, you have a good chance to reap great returns.
