Top 5 ETFs With Highest Return in 1 Year: Despite having heavy equity exposure, equity mutual funds can’t be traded in a share market except for exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
They can be bought and sold like any other stock in a share market.
ETFs can track an index, asset, commodity benchmark, etc.
Since these are traded on a stock exchange, an investor needs to have a demat account to trade them.
ETFs have a low expense ratio, and they can be bought only during trading hours.
In this write-up, we take you through the top 5 ETFs that have given the highest annualised return in 1 year.
