Ok, since I didn't know what they were:

Index funds that trade like stocks on stock markets. Each share represents a proportion of ownership in each stock that makes up an index.

Also, the home page seems to be www.ishares.com What kind of diversivication were you looking for? There's a Dow Jones Broad US market one which would be good for diversivication, as well as some globabl stock market index funds which would help. However you aren't going to get much diversivication by getting any funds within a sector (although you would get diversivication within that sector).

What's the minimum investment on these?
