What Are ETFs And BeES? How They Work, Key Differences And Benefits For Stock Market Investors

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) allow investors to gain exposure to a basket of stocks through a single market-traded investment. Instead of selecting individual stocks, investors can choose funds focused on sectors such as IT, FMCG and defence, helping diversify their investments. In this Business Today discussion, Sakshi Batra speaks with Sharad Kohli, Founder & Chairman, KCC Group, who explains how ETFs work and how they differ from index-based products such as Nifty 50 BeES. He also highlights how these instruments offer access to multiple stocks and why understanding the underlying sector or benchmark matters before investing for the long term.
