What’s more, we don’t charge transaction fees for ETFs from the basic range. You will, however, be charged service and product fees. Find out more about the pros and cons of investing in ETFs.

ETFs offer an opportunity to spread investments

When buying an ETF, you can start spreading your investments right away, because you are effectively investing in a basket of different investments. Some market indices include hundreds of (international) companies. This is a major advantage. That said, do make sure you put some thought into what type of ETF you choose. If an ETF invests in just one or a few sectors, it will involve more risk. After all, when these sectors hit hard times, it may affect your ETF. Before going into ETF investing, do your research on what ETF to invest in.

Getting started with ETFs is convenient

Once you have made your choice from the range, you can buy and sell ETFs during stock market trading hours. To do so, you will need a Self-Directed Investing Basic or a Self-Directed Investing Plus account. Orders can be submitted through the ABN AMRO app or on Internet Banking. You can subsequently track the performance of your ETF 24/7 in real time.

You can buy and sell ETFs during stock market trading hours. Since ETF investing is a long-term pursuit, there is no need to keep checking the share prices every day.
