ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are a flexible and simple way of diversifying your portfolio. Consider the fund to be a basket of industry or regionally-related stocks, giving you sector or industry-wide exposure.
IG Markets offers hundreds of low-commission ETFs, covering regions, countries, commodities, metals and energies and sectors such as property.
So, for example, if you bought a CFD for ETC Silver, you would gain exposure to a selection of stocks related to the silver industry, from mining through to retail.
ETFs make it easy to broaden your portfolio without exposing yourself to the potentially volatile fortunes of any one particular stock.
Trade anytime
Because an ETF CFD trades like an equity, you can trade it at any time the market is open, and has no expiry. For further information about our ETFs, please see our example of an ETF CFD trade.
