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 (ETFs). But how much do you really know about them?
What are ETFs
ETFs are financial products that track the performance of a specific index, commodity, or a group of assets. They are widely popular among both individual and institutional investors due to their flexibility, low fees, and transparency.
Why trade ETFs
ETFs are an effective way to diversify your portfolio. Because an ETF holds a range of securities, investors can gain exposure to different assets, markets, or sectors without trading each one individually. This helps reduce risk and volatility while potentially providing more stable long-term returns.
How to trade ETF CFDs
Besides buying ETFs on stock exchanges, you can trade them via CFDs. CFD trading allows you to speculate on the price movements of the underlying ETF without actually owning it. You can open long (buy) or short (sell) positions, depending on whether you expect the ETF to rise or fall.
