ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
Some ETF issuers featured on our platform pay InvestEngine a fee for joint marketing activities. These arrangements are commercial in nature and help support the creation and promotion of educational content and ETF investing. All ETFs available on our platform are subject to our standard due diligence process and the arrangements do not influence product placement or the portfolio construction decisions made in discretionary portfolios, which remain aligned to the stated investment strategy and objectives.
