ETFs
A basket, traded as one price
An ETF wraps a basket — shares, bonds, or commodities — into one listed price. The CFD follows that price. You get the basket's exposure without buying every holding, and you can go long or short the fund.
01 — ETFs
Know the basket
Two funds can share a name and hold different things. Read the index the ETF tracks before you trade the symbol.

02 — ETFs
Not the index itself
An ETF can trade at a premium or discount to its holdings, especially when the underlying market is closed.

Costs inside the fund
The fund charges its own fee. That drag is in the price over time. It is separate from the CFD spread.

Leverage still applies
A diversified basket can still lose money. Margin makes that loss larger relative to the cash you posted.
Open accountFund prices
Broad, bond, and leveraged funds. Check what the fund holds before you trade the symbol.

Ways people use them
ETFs are a shortcut when you want a theme and do not want to pick each company.
- A broad equity fund when you want the market, not a stock.
- A sector fund when the view is about banks, energy or tech.
- A bond fund when the view is about yields.
- A commodity fund when you want the complex in one line.
Checks before the order
The ticker is not enough. Confirm the venue and whether the fund is accumulating or distributing.
- Search the exact symbol listed on the desk.
- Note the home session. A US fund is quiet during the Asian morning.
- A leveraged or inverse ETF is a different product. It resets daily.
- Size it as a position, not as a savings plan.

FAQ
Do I own the fund shares?
No. The CFD tracks the ETF price. You are not a fund shareholder and you do not receive the fund's voting rights.
What is an inverse ETF?
It is built to move opposite the index on a daily basis. Holding it for many days does not simply equal the opposite of the index's long-term return.
How is this different from an index CFD?
An index CFD tracks the index level. An ETF CFD tracks a fund that may hold that index, plus the fund's own premium, fee and session.
