How do I choose an ETF?

Choosing an ETF starts with clarity on what you want: broad market exposure, a specific sector, bonds for income, inflation hedging, or something else.

Once you know the goal, check the ETF's holdings or benchmark, expense ratio, trading spread, and assets under management. These help you avoid products that are expensive, illiquid, or too niche for your needs.

Finally, look at overlap with what you already own. Investors often accidentally stack similar ETFs and end up overexposed to one sector or factor. A quick holdings overlap check can prevent that.
