Index ETFs: What are the largest on the market?
In the modern stock market, aside from the well-known stocks, there are many other different products that can be used for trading and obtaining profit through speculation and price fluctuations. One of these products is an Exchange-traded fund, or ETF, which combines the volatility and liquidity of a stock with diversification.
With this in mind, Insider Monkey compiled a list of ten largest index ETFs, in terms of Assets Under Management. Also we have included the index that each ETF follows, and some other figures that can give you an idea regarding the performance of the ETF, similar to our list of the best short ETFs.
