What are ETFs?
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a type of investment vehicle that track the performance of a broad collection of underlying assets, such as shares, commodities, and bonds.
ETF portfolios are held by corporations that issue shares (a portion of ownership) in the fund. These shares give investors exposure to the underlying assets as a collective.

FAQs
New to forex trading?
How does CFD trading on ETFs work?
When you trade CFDs on ETFs through our platform, you don’t buy or sell the underlying ETF. Instead, you’re taking a position on whether you think the ETF price will go up or down.
With CFD trading, you buy or sell a number of units for a particular instrument. You gain for every point or unit that the price moves in your favour, and vice versa.
What is leveraged ETF trading?
One of the advantages of CFD trading is that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of your position to open a trade, known as trading on leverage. Remember, trading ETFs on leverage can also amplify losses, so it’s important to manage your risk.
As an example, let’s say you want to put down a total of $1,000 on your ETF trade. Due to the leverage available with CFD trading (5:1 in this case), you would be able to enter this position with an initial outlay of $200, instead of $1,000. However, remember that your profits and losses are based on the full value of the trade ($1,000). As a retail client, you will never lose more than the amount in your account.
What is leveraged trading?
There are a number of costs to consider when trading on ETFs, including spread costs, holding costs (for trades held overnight) and guaranteed stop-loss order charges (if you use this risk-management tool). View our trading costs for more details.
ETF trading offers better value when compared with trading each individual constituent of an ETF. There’s no cost to opening an account with us, and no minimum deposit.

Is it free to open an account?
There’s no cost when opening a live trading account with us. You can also view prices and use tools such as charts, Reuters news or Morningstar quantitative equity reports, free of charge. However, you’ll need to deposit funds in your account to place a trade.
