Why are ETFs great for diversifying your portfolio?
You can think of an ETF like a shopping basket. Rather than running around a supermarket holding all the individual things you want to buy in your arms, an ETF is like a basket already filled with a bunch of groceries, all in one easy-to-carry box. A single ETF can invest in a range of assets, from shares to bonds and even property, allowing you to get exposure to an array of different investments in just one product!
