3 No-Brainer ETFs to Buy That'll Make You Money in 2021

If investors entered 2020 unsure of their convictions, they know them now. The unprecedented uncertainty created by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic upended society and sent the benchmark S&P 500 into an absolute tailspin during the first quarter. Although the broader market has recovered and gone on to hit new all-time highs, volatility remains well above its average in recent years.

For investors who aren't used to dealing with violent swings in the stock market, it can be a bit unnerving. The good news is that there's a way to remain invested while mitigating this volatility risk. I'm talking about buying exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.

An ETF is a security that holds a basket of investments and has a well-defined focus. Investors can buy ETFs that target growth or value, stocks with market caps ranging from small to large, specific industries or sectors, and even particular countries or regions. If you can dream it, chances are there's an ETF for it.
