The stock market can help you build wealth that lasts a lifetime, but choosing the right investments is critical to maximize your earnings while limiting risk.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a smart option for those who want a low-maintenance investment that requires next to no upkeep. An ETF is a basket of securities bundled together into a single fund, so by investing in just one share of an ETF, you'll instantly own a stake in dozens or even hundreds of stocks.
