In the context of Wall Street and the stock market, ETFs differ from mutual funds because they are bought and sold like individual stocks. What is an ETF?

Mutual Funds are made up of various equities, and their value only changes at the end of the trading day. ETFs, on the other hand, are bought and sold at any point during the trading day - because they reflect the value of various stock market indices - their value fluctuates throughout the trading session.
