Are ETFs equities?

ETFs are not technically equities on their own, but many of them pool equities. This means many ETFs are made up of equities.

The definition of an equity is ownership of a stock or some other type of investment.
If you invest in an ETF that holds a type of stock, you are investing in equities and becoming a fractional owner of the companies within that fund.
