ETF vs Mutual Fund

general

ETFs and mutual funds both provide diversified portfolios but differ in key ways. ETFs trade intraday like stocks with real-time pricing, while mutual funds trade once daily at NAV. ETFs generally have lower expense ratios, greater tax efficiency, and no minimum investment. Mutual funds may offer more variety and automatic investment features.
