What is an ETF?

ETFs are a popular investment option that provide an easy-to-use, low-cost way to invest. They offer diversified exposure and contain a portfolio of securities designed to track a specific index or market sector, or can be actively managed to produce a specific outcome.

What are the benefits of investing in an ETF?

Diversification

ETFs provide investors with a simple and efficient way to gain instant exposure to a broad set of securities through a single trade.

Flexibility

ETFs trade like stocks, allowing investors to buy and sell them like any other stock on an exchange, anytime during market hours.

Greater choice

ETFs provide easy access to a wide range of asset classes including stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies or alternatives.

Lower fees

ETFs generally carry lower fees, offering investors a low-cost way to invest.

What are the different types of ETFs?

Active ETFs

Active ETFs leverage the expertise of professional portfolio managers to aim for returns that not only track an underlying index or benchmark (beta) but also seek to provide a level of outperformance (alpha).

Passive ETFs

Passive ETFs are designed to track the performance of a specific index or basket of securities, such as large-cap U.S. equities or global bonds.

Frequently asked questions about ETFs

What is an ETF?

Which accounts can I add ETF investments to?

Where can I find CIBC’s full ETF lineup?

What is the difference between management expense ratio (MER) and management fees?

What are the main differences between ETFs and mutual funds?

Attributes	ETFs	Mutual funds
Trading/liquidity	Intra-day trading on an exchange; investors can place different types of orders such as limit, stop-limit or market orders. Investors have the ability to short sell or trade on margin.	Transactions take place between investors and the fund issuer. Investors cannot buy mutual funds on margin or set price limit orders.
Pricing	Prices fluctuate intra-day on a stock exchange and have bid and ask spreads. ETFs can trade at a premium or discount, but typically trade close to net asset value (NAV).	Fund is priced at the end of the day. All unit-holders that place a trade on a given day receive the same price.
Cost	No sales charges but brokerage commissions apply.	May have sales loads, purchase and/or redemption fees.
Tax efficiency	Greater tax efficiency due to secondary trading and in-kind creation/redemption process. This produces lower portfolio turnover and results in fewer realized capital gains for tax purposes.	The fund must sell underlying securities for cash when investors leave the fund, which can generate realized capital gains.
