Summary:
New ETF CFD suite delivers global market themes alongside real-time access, enhanced flexibility, and broader trading opportunities.
We have announced the launch of over 100 new U.S.-listed Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) CFDs, expanding our multi-asset product suite and offering global clients deeper access to diversified, thematic trading opportunities. The rollout highlights our ongoing commitment to delivering institutional-grade tools across asset classes, underpinned by flexibility, transparency, and efficiency.
The new offering includes ETFs listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, issued by leading asset managers such as Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors. Thematic coverage spans a wide range of global macro and sectoral narratives.
"This expansion reflects our vision to bridge intelligent product design with market relevance," said David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. "The new products are a natural evolution for traders seeking targeted exposure with greater strategic flexibility. At EBC, we're building an ecosystem that empowers both precision and performance."
Thematic Access Meets Tactical Flexibility
The expanded suite offers clients opportunities to explore some of the most actively followed macroeconomic and investment themes globally.
These include geographic exposure through funds such as the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, high-yield fixed income via the likes of iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, and commodities exposure via ETFs such as the United States Oil Fund LP, which tracks WTI crude. Sector-specific opportunities are also available, and traders can also take positions across equity baskets including those with dividend-focused strategies, such as the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF.
Additional themes include market capitalisation strategies like the Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF and investment style tilts, such as the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF, which tracks growth-oriented stocks.
These additions serve as both stand-alone trade ideas and complementary instruments alongside our existing product lineup, enabling advanced portfolio structuring and thematic trading.
Smarter Exposure: Leverage, Shorting, and Cost Efficiency in One Product
Compared to direct ETF investments, it presents several key advantages as traders benefit from a simplified cost structure, with no traditional fund management fees or broker commissions. The flexibility to take both long and short positions allows for strategic trading regardless of market direction, while the use of leverage enhances capital efficiency and return potential. These trades are executed in real time via our recognised platforms, providing seamless access to market opportunities.
During key market cycles, for example the post-pandemic V-shaped recovery of 2021—certain thematic ETFs, like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, significantly outperformed broader indices such as the S&P 500. Our portfolio enables traders to participate in similar trends, adapting quickly to shifting market dynamics with precision and speed.
