ETP stands for Exchange-traded product, a stock market & investing abbreviation.
Umbrella term for securities that trade on exchanges and track an underlying index, asset or strategy, including ETFs, ETNs and exchange-traded commodities. The term emphasizes the trading wrapper rather than the legal structure.
Example: The broker requires clients to acknowledge the risks before buying leveraged ETPs.
Usage notes
Legal structures differ: an ETF is usually a registered fund, an ETN is a debt note and a commodity ETP may be a grantor trust holding physical metal or futures. The US spot bitcoin ETPs approved in January 2024 are grantor trusts rather than funds registered under the Investment Company Act.
