Our themes to watch 

Since their establishment three decades ago, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have evolved from a relatively obscure investment fund to a type of investment vehicle that has attracted trillions of dollars worth of assets. But with thousands of available instruments and multiple types and focuses, how do you know where to start? Our in-house trading team have identified three themes with high growth potential and the instruments well placed to benefit from their performance.

Frequently asked questions

How does CFD trading ETFs actually work?

When you trade CFDs on ETFs on 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. For every point or unit that the price moves in your favour, you gain multiples of your stake, and vice versa. 

What are the costs involved in ETF trading?

There are a number of costs to consider when trading on ETFs, including holding costs (for trades held overnight) and guaranteed stop-loss order charges (if you use this risk-management tool).
