ETF stands for "Exchange-Traded Fund." Simply put, it's like bundling a group of stocks into a package and trading that package on the stock market. For example, if you want to invest in tech stocks but don't know which ones to pick, buying a tech ETF is like owning shares of multiple tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and others all at once.
ETF CFDs allow you to trade ETF price movements without owning the actual fund. No securities account is required, and there is no delivery of physical assets. ETF CFDs are more suitable for short-term, leveraged, and bi-directional trading strategies.
No. With EBC’s ETF CFD products, you can trade the price fluctuations of ETFs directly on the platform without owning any ETF shares.
There are no traditional ETF management or brokerage fees. The main costs include the bid-ask spread and overnight financing charges. All applicable fees are transparently displayed on the platform in real time.
Yes. Unlike traditional ETFs that only allow long positions, ETF CFDs support short-selling. This provides strategic flexibility in both volatile and declining markets.
ETF CFDs are leveraged products and are better suited for users with some trading experience and risk awareness. We recommend that beginners practise using a demo account to become familiar with the product before trading live.
