Hi Hakiza,

Investing in the energy field has become inexpensive due to energy exchange-traded funds. Exchange-traded funds tend to pursue a specific benchmark. You can invest in ETFs of various commodities such as oil gold and bonds.
Exchange-traded funds are so popular among many people and are continuing to grow each day. Their transaction fees are way favorable compared to traditional funds, and you can trade them at any time of the day. These are just a few reasons why ETFs are a good investment option. 
Energy ETFs typically come from commodities such as natural gas oil, solar, and other energy alternatives. They are usually engaged in different businesses and risks. Both competitive and reasonable investors best know energy ETFs. 
The energy sector is highly diversified, and different companies deal with various energy-related commodities. These commodities' success depends on their supply and demand. It may not be new to you to state that oil and gas prices vary from time to time. The manufacturers of oil will earn more when these prices rise, and their earnings will fall when their prices decline. 
Various energy exchange-traded funds expose investors to varying investment sectors. Such examples may include the SPDR S&P Oil and the XOP that allows the investors to deal with companies that produce oil and gas. The VanEck Vectors Coal ETF is an opportunity for investors to trade in coal. 
 You can trade Energy ETFs using the intraday trading strategy and pricing. It is a better investment option than mutual funds.
Though any type of ETF is diversified and efficient to trade with, you need to take note of the risks associated with any ETF before you invest in it.
