Exchange-Traded Product| ETP
An ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) is a broad term for investment products that trade on an exchange.
This includes ETFs, ETCs, and ETNs.
So, an ETF is a type of ETP, but not all ETPs are ETFs.
ETP = the big category
ETF = one type inside that category
How ETP works
An ETP is designed to track the performance of something, such as:
-
a stock index
-
a commodity
-
a currency
-
a crypto asset
Some ETPs physically own the asset, while others track it using contracts.
Real-Life ETP Example
A gold-tracking product listed on a stock exchange can be an ETP.
A Bitcoin exchange-traded product can also be an ETP.
Why ETP is important
-
Gives investors easy market access
-
Can track many different asset classes
-
Traded like stocks
-
Useful for both beginners and advanced investors
