Why gift an ETF?
An ETF is a single fund that follows a whole basket of companies — the S&P 500's five hundred household names, the Nasdaq-100's tech heavyweights, or the small caps of the Russell 2000. As a gift, it's the "don't make me pick" option: one gift linked to the broadest slice of the market, and a natural first step for a kid or grad just learning what the market is. ETF gifts fit birthdays, graduations, and new babies especially well.
Pick any amount from $20 — they claim it with a free account and redeem the cash value to any brokerage or bank.

Frequently asked questions
Which ETFs can I gift?
You can send a gift linked to any of the ETFs on Beestow — including SPDR S&P 500 ETF, Invesco QQQ ETF, iShares Russell 2000 — in any dollar amount from $20, delivered by text, email, or a printable QR code. No full shares required.
Does the recipient need a brokerage account?
No. They create a free Beestow account in seconds to claim, then redeem the cash value to any major brokerage — Fidelity, Schwab, E*TRADE, Vanguard, Merrill Edge, and more — or a regular bank account. No brokerage account is required on either side to send or claim.
Does the recipient actually own the ETF?
Ticker pages are provided for informational and educational purposes. A Beestow gift is a prepaid gift whose value is linked to a stock's market performance — recipients redeem the cash value; they do not receive securities.
