AB Since their creation in Canada in 1989, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have opened a new panorama of investment opportunities. They allow investors to gain broad exposure to entire stock markets of different countries and specific sectors with relative ease, on a real-time basis and at a lower cost than many other forms of investing.
