ETF stands for exchange-traded fund and, as the name suggests, is listed on a securities exchange. ETFs are classified into domestic ETFs, which are established in Japan based on Japanese laws and regulations, and foreign ETFs, which are established in foreign countries based on foreign laws and regulations.
