What is the difference between mutual funds and exchange traded funds?

Both mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) originate from the concept of pooled fund investing, which bundles securities together to offer investors a more diversified portfolio. However, mutual funds and ETFs have some key differences. For instance, ETFs offer more flexible trading as they trade during the day like stocks, while mutual funds only allow transactions at the end of the day. Moreover, ETFs are mostly passively-managed and mirror a designated index. On the other hand, mutual funds are typically actively-managed, as it can be seen by comparing the number of actively and passively-managed mutual funds in the United States.
