In this article, we bring both side by side and here&#8217;s what you need to know about ETF vs Mutual Fund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between ETF and mutual fund?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mutual Funds<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ETFs<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Traded at the end of each trading day.

ETFs are listed on a stock exchange and traded like <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/what-are-stocks\/\">stocks<\/a>. Investors can diversify their investments across asset classes such as Equities, Fixed Income, Commodities, Currencies, International Markets, Multi-assets, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) is the leading ETF in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ETF vs Mutual Fund: Similarities and Differences&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are similar in that they are both profitable investments that pool investor money into a collection of securities allowing the investors to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/lose-investment-money\/\">diversified portfolio<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual Funds have been around for years, while ETFs are relatively new. ETFs offer the same diversification benefits as mutual funds but often at a much lower cost to the investor. Here are more key differences between Mutual Funds and ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How they\u2019re run&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual funds are run by professional fund managers who attempt to beat the market by trading stocks. This is called actively managed funds and it means a slightly higher cost for investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, ETFs are passively managed funds. Mutual funds outperform ETFs in the short term but may not realize as much returns compared to ETFs over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Expense ratio&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An expense ratio is how much investors pay each year as a percentage of the amount invested to own a fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passively managed ETFs have relatively lower expense ratios compared to actively managed mutual funds. However, don\u2019t always assume ETFs are the cheapest when considering your investment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5f7fc\">Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/total-expense-ratio\/\">Total Expense Ratio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How they\u2019re traded<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ETFs usually track an index and are traded throughout the day like stocks, with prices based on demand and supply. On the other hand, mutual funds are priced and traded at the end of each trading day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How they\u2019re taxed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy an ETF, you won&#8217;t pay capital gains taxes unless the shares are sold for a profit. Mutual funds are actively managed and often bought and sold more frequently. When the shares are sold for a gain, the capital gains taxes are transferred to everyone with shares in the fund, even if you\u2019ve never sold your shares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The minimum investment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ETFs can be purchased by the share and hence, have a low cost of entry. Mutual funds have higher costs of entry. However, on <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds\">Cowrywise<\/a>, you can invest in a mutual fund with any amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1661264970178\"><h2 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which one is better? Mutual Funds or ETFs<\/h2> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends. Before deciding which works for you, consider factors like risk tolerance levels, tax sensitivity, investment goal, and time frame. Mutual funds and ETFs are equally low-risk investments. Both provide you with <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/portfolio-diversification\/\">diversification<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual Funds are better when you want to invest in different opportunities, mostly with foreign companies and other kinds of securities. ETFs have low fees and lower minimum purchases. However, don\u2019t always assume it is low-cost. Be careful to also look for potential fees and make your comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to begin your journey to financial freedom?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Cowrywise, we make growing your money sweet and easy.
