Investing in the stock market can be daunting, but choosing industry-specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offers a simpler way to earn above-average returns with less effort than picking individual stocks. ETFs are baskets of securities that provide instant diversification by holding multiple stocks in a single investment. By investing in ETFs, you reduce the time spent on research, lower risk through diversification, and potentially outperform the market. Industry-specific ETFs, like those focusing on technology or healthcare, can further enhance your earnings compared to broad-market funds, but it's crucial to balance risk by diversifying your investments across sectors.
