Understanding ETFs Uses, Returns and Comparison with Mutual Funds and Stocks

 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have gained popularity among investors for their unique features and benefits. In this blog, we'll explore the uses of ETFs, their potential returns, how they differ from mutual funds and stock investments, and their safety profile. What is an ETF? An ETF is a type of investment fund that trades on stock exchanges, much like individual stocks. It holds a collection of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and aims to track the performance of a specific index, sector, or asset class. Uses of ETFs Diversification : ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to a wide range of assets without having to purchase each individually. For instance, an ETF tracking the S&P 500 gives you exposure to 500 different stocks, reducing the risk associated with individual stock investments. Cost Efficiency : ETFs often have lower expense ratios compared to mutual funds. They typically pass on lower management costs to investors since they are often passively man

How To Calculate Dirty Powers (Power in Fraction) Using Basic Calculator



Dirty Power is those power which cannot be calculated simply. It is in the form of fraction like 1/5, 2/5 etc. Very simple steps are given below to calculate it using basic calculator - 

Step 1. Press Square Root (√) 12 Times
Step 2. Subtract 1
Step 3. Divide by Denominator
Step 4. Add 1
Step 5. Press Multiplication (*) and Equal (=) in combination 12 Times
Step 6. Raise The Number

Example 1 - (1.6)^1/5



Step 1. Press Square Root (√) 12 Times

Value = 1.0001146

Step 2. Subtract 1

Value = 1.0001146 - 1  = 0.0001146

Step 3. Divide by Denominator - Here power is 1/5, so denominator is 5.

Value = 0.0001146/5  = 0.0000229

Step 4. Add 1

Value = 0.0000229  + 1 = 1.0000229

Step 5. Press Multiplication (*) and Equal (=) in combination 12 Times

Value = 1.0983094

Step 6. Raise The Number - Here Power is 1/5, so nominator is 1.

Value = 1.0983094^1 = 1.0983094

Note - Suppose raised power is 2/5 in the same question then 

in Step 6 Value value will be  1.0983094^2 = 1.2062835
