ETF Index/Funds are traded as stocks. Thus, they fluctuate throughout the day. These funds provide investors with a wide range of industries, geographies and strategies. In 2007, ETFs were introduced to be used in retirement accounts.

ETFs are considered passive investment mechanisms that aim to achieve several goals—wide resource diversification, administrative and transactional cost efficiency, and emulation of relevant markets in terms of performance and volatility.

These funds are designed to provide average profitability results in a specific industry or market. StateTrust Life & Annuities has designed investment profiles that include ETFs, innovative instruments that manage market fluctuations efficiently and enable investors to enjoy returns from the world’s top capital markets.
