ETFs | Exchange Traded Fund | Trading ETF CFDs

Trading ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) CFDs is a simple way of gaining exposure to a wide range of markets.

What are ETFs?

ETFs are tracker funds – collective investment schemes that aim to replicate the movements of a particular stock index or sector. Just like shares, they are traded on an exchange and are designed to reflect the underlying market they are tracking.

Why ETFs?

At IG Markets you can trade over 200 of these funds as CFDs, with the majority listed on the world's leading exchanges. These funds give you the opportunity to take positions on previously unavailable markets – for instance the MSCI Brazil Fund that tracks Brazil’s leading shares. Much like trading a stock index, your exposure tracks these collections of shares rather than just movements in individual shares.

Exchange Traded Commodities

We also offer ETCs (Exchange Traded Commodities), allowing you to trade a wide range of commodities and commodity sectors. Working just like an ETF, you can take positions on Gold, Silver, Oil, Precious Metals and many more.

Trade hard-to-access markets

In some cases ETFs represent the only way to gain exposure to certain underlying markets. The huge range of these funds that we have available means you can get easy access to even the most obscure underlying markets.

See our Shares List for details of all the ETF and ETCs that IG Markets offers.
