Is it correct to call an exchange-traded note a type of ETF?

ETNs are different than exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs own the securities in the index they track. For example, an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 will own all 500 stocks in the S&P. ETNs do not provide investors ownership of the securities but are merely paid the return that the index produces.
