Thematic ETFs can give investors exposure to particular sectors, geographies or trends happening in the broader market, but they're not without their risks.

This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money's Tom Watson is joined by founder and chief executive of Stockspot, Chris Brycki, to dig into thematic exchange traded funds and the role they can play in portfolios. They discuss:

  • What thematic ETFs actually are
  • The thematic ETF versus index ETF approach
