July 23, 2024
Every week we provide insights into popular assets and hot questions, so you can easily learn more about the investment market in bite-sized pieces.

In this Markets in Focus we take a closer look at Exchange-Traded Funds, or simply ETF’s. But what do you actually know about ETF’s?

What are ETFs

ETF’s are financial products that track the performance of a specific index, commodity, or group of assets. ETF’s s are popular among individual and institutional investors thanks to their flexibility, low fees, and transparency.

Why should I trade ETF’s

ETF’s are an effective way for traders and investors to diversify their positions. Because ETF’s  comprise a diverse range of securities, holders can gain exposure to different assets, markets, and sectors without having to trade each one individually. This can help reduce risk and volatility and potentially generate more stable returns over the long term.

How to Trade ETF CFD’s

Aside from buying ETF’s on stock exchanges, you can trade them via CFDs. CFD’s s are derivative products that allow traders to speculate on the price movement of an underlying asset, such as an ETF. Unlike traditional ETF investing, ETF CFD trading does not involve owning the ETF itself. Instead, traders are exposed to the price movements of the underlying ETF when they open a position.
