Getting started with investing can be absolutely terrifying. I remember the first time I opened up my investment account, I hadn’t the faintest idea what I was doing. What’s a ticker symbol? What do all of these charts mean? What’s the difference between a Mutual Fund and an ETF? Am I really expected to comb through the financial statements of every single company I invest in?
All of these questions remain even as you gain more experience. Hand-picking stocks is incredibly boring, time-consuming, and (most importantly) expensive. There are so many companies on the US stock exchange that choosing just a handful to invest in requires a large amount of time and effort. But what if I told you there’s a way to curate a profitable, stable portfolio, with just a single investment?
“What company could possibly give me all that?” You might be thinking. It’s called the DriveWealth ICE 100 Index ETF. I know, the name’s a mouthful, so from here on I’ll just be referring to it as the CETF.
What on Earth is a CETF?
CETF is an ETF. So then, what’s an ETF?
An ETF (formally known as an Exchange Traded Fund) is a fund in which investors give their money to a team of investment analysts, who then curate a portfolio of stock investments based on the fund’s goals and the investors’ preferences.
Essentially, you’re sending money to a group of fund managers, and they take that money and invest small amounts of it across a bunch of different companies in a bunch of different market sectors. The rate of return on your investment is dependent on the average growth rate of all the companies the ETF invests in, instead of just a single company.
Why Choose CETF Over Other ETFs?
What sets CETF apart is that it doesn’t invest in individual companies – it invests in other ETFs. It’s the ETF of ETFs, if you will. Specifically, its investments track an index of the top 100 ETFs listed in the US. This comes with a number of advantages:
- Reduced Volatility
- ETFs are already less risky / volatile than investing in singular stocks because they spread investments across a large basket of companies. This way, if a single company fails, the others will still keep the ETF price stable.
- Super-diversification
- CETF doesn’t just invest in a basket of companies – it invests in a basket of baskets. This leads to even more diversification and lower volatility.
- Broad range of sectors and industries
- By targeting ETFs across the entire US market, almost every industry will be covered.
- More diversified than the S&P 500
Not to mention, it’s an incredibly accessible investment for beginners. CETF is a zero fund:
- Zero minimum investment
- Zero exit fees
- Zero monitoring
It’s the perfect way to diversify your portfolio without the hassle of hand-picking all of your own investments!
