Exchange-traded products are financial instruments that are listed and traded on stock exchanges, similar to traditional stocks. These products typically derive their value from an underlying asset, index, or strategy. They offer investors a convenient way to gain exposure to various asset classes without directly holding the underlying assets. Their structure facilitates liquidity and price discovery within regulated market environments.
