Today we talk with Mai Platts from Betashares about the basics of ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). Mai takes us through what an ETF is, how they work, and some important things to consider not just with ETFs but also individual stocks and managed funds. We also answer a very important question that concerns people - what happens if the fund manager is no longer in operation, what happens to an individual's shareholdings.
