Could you please elaborate on mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for those new to the financial world? In simple terms, how do these investment vehicles work? I'm particularly interested in understanding the key differences between the two, as well as their respective benefits and drawbacks. As a potential investor, I'm looking for a basic understanding of these fund types before making any decisions. Thank you for your insight and clarity in explaining this important topic.
