These funds are expected to remain growing at a pace more rapidly than mutual funds and hedge funds in the next couple of years. Educating a new and expanding investors has become a global imperative among ETF issuers. Sensible and engaged investors need to know what makes ETFs unique. The purpose of this article is to help asset owners and investors understand and use ETFs to build institutional-quality portfolios. Through literature search in books, journal articles and the internet, the current research article explored what ETFs are, the regulatory and legal environment, benefits, drawbacks, and criticisms levelled against them as investment vehicles. The results indicated that ETFs are passive and diversified investment instruments with lower management fees, tax efficiency, transparent and easily accessible. However, the strategic investment decision in ETFs are determined by investors’ objectives, risk aversion and time horizon of investment. Thus, this article is useful to CEOs, Board of Directors, Investment Managers, investors of all sizes, and prospectus investors to help them navigate the risks and rewards and decide whether these securities, now three decades old, make sense for their portfolios. The article is also useful for charterholders, graduate students in economics and finance and CFA candidates to fully absorb. Both practitioners and academics can use this article as a reference and guide.  \nKeywords: Exchange traded funds, index-based investments, investment strategy, momentum, portfolio management  \nIntroduction  \nSince the first locally bid ETF was initiated in the 1990s, ETFs have become gradually more popular as investment instruments for both institutional and retail investors. Large investor inflows into ETFs over the last 10 years have attracted numerous new competitors to enter the market and  \nstimulated an explosion of new products. When contemplating on investing, it is important for the investor to ensure that the particular investment product is fully understood before making an investment decision. Regrettably, many people both young and old appear under-informed (Lusardi & Mitchelli, 2007) regarding these innovative investment vehicles. Moreover, it is a great concern that a number of investors, including “mattress stuffers” and “bargain hunters”are taking hasty investment decisions without bearing in mind their long-term financial objectives. In such a context, basic information may have a large impact (Duflo & Saez, 2003) on investment decisions.  \nWhile educators in the field of investment may not tell prospective investors how to manage their investment portfolio during a precarious market, they can provide useful information as a tool to make an informed decision. Effective investors do not follow the pack (Sternberg & Lubart, 1991) . Rather, they seek to understand the impacts of ETFs on liquidity, efficiency and the mechanics involved because this is essential not only from a theoretical perspective, but also from a regulatory standpoint (Itzhak et al., 2017) .Thus, the main motivation for this paper is an initiative to enhance financial literacy, since financial education is viewed as a potentially vital opportunity to increase the quality of investment decision making both by policy makers and individual investors.  \nOn the whole, ETFs have altered the asset management domain by initiating low-cost investment instruments that are traded day and night. The scholarly literature recognises this financial innovation but also indicates a number of potential fragiliti","cbCaiukjipWVGXmM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiukjipWVGXmM","pdf",1687022,27,"English","# Introduction\n## Background to ETFs\n## Methodology and developments\n## Academic studies on passive management\n## Benefits and drawbacks for financial markets\n## Conclusions and future research","[{\"question\":\"What are the main characteristics of ETFs according to the article?\",\"answer\":\"ETFs are described as passive and diversified investment instruments.
