An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is an open-ended fund or investment trust that is traded on a securities exchange like a stock. Most ETFs are index based and the performance of the ETF tracks the performance of the underlying index.

This site offers the investor and trader tools to evaluate the performance of the 1000+ ETFs currently available. Tools include Total Return Performance Comparisons, Relative Strength Trends, a Screener, and market sector comparisons, all updated twice hourly during the trading day for all but the lowest volume funds.
