The ETF Finder can help you find the ETFs you are interested in by grouping them based on categories. Most of these categories are based on attributes of the underlying holdings. Categories include:

• Asset Class - Indicates what type of investments this fund generally holds. ETF Finder asset class sub-categories include:
  • Equities - Investments that represent ownership (e.g. stocks)
  • Fixed income - Investments that, in general, provide a periodic regular return (e.g. bonds)
  Bonds are one of the most common types of fixed-income investments.
