ETF
Baskets of shares, bonds or commodities in a single instrument: trade CFDs on the largest listed ETFs, long or short.
What is an ETF
An ETF (exchange-traded fund) is a listed fund that tracks an index, a sector, a commodity or a basket of bonds. With an ETF CFD you take a position on the fund's price without buying its units.
It is a way to gain exposure to a whole theme — US technology, emerging markets, gold — with a single instrument. Dividends paid by the fund are reflected through an adjustment on open positions.
