Stocks have produced some extremely strong returns during the current bull market.

But not every stock is participating equally in the current bull market. Small-cap stocks , for example, haven't fared nearly as well as their large-cap counterparts.

The $1 million mark has long been a milestone for financial success. It may not take you as far as it did decades ago, but it's still a significant achievement worth every celebration it receives. Thankfully, hitting the seven-figure number doesn't have to be a pipe dream; it can be done using only exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs allow you to invest in hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of companies with a single investment, greatly simplifying the investing process.
