ETFs Trading
Gain exposure to sectors, regions and themes through exchange traded funds, in a single position.
Market Overview
An exchange traded fund holds a basket of assets and trades on an exchange like a single share. That structure gives you diversified exposure to a sector, a region, a commodity complex or a specific theme without assembling the holdings yourself. Trading ETFs as contracts for difference adds the ability to go short and to trade on margin. It suits traders who want to express a directional view on something broader than one company but narrower than an entire index.

Understanding etfs pricing
An ETF CFD follows the price of the underlying fund. You trade price movement rather than owning fund units, which allows short positions and margin trading but confers no ownership.
