What Are Exchange-Traded Funds and How Can Investing in Them Lead To Investor Losses?

This is a pooled investment security that usually tracks a certain sector, index, commodity, or some other funds. ETFs can be bought or sold on a stock exchange and their share price changes throughout the day.

ETFs can be passive or active. A passive ETF will track an index. An active ETF is managed by a portfolio manager that decides which securities to include and they may seek to generate above average returns. Active ETFs tend to be more expensive (including how much they charge for management fees) and may also be riskier.

Granted, all exchange-traded funds are exposed to the market and losses may result. However, if your broker unsuitably recommended complex ETFs that were too risky for you, overconcentrated your account into too many ETFs, or excessively traded in your account for the purpose of earning more commissions, you may be able to sue your broker over your losses.
