What is an ETF?

An exchange traded fund is an instrument that tracks the performance of an underlying asset or group of assets. There are a range of ETFs available to trade, such as stock index ETFs, that track an index or basket of stocks, and currency ETFs that track multiple currencies.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You do not own or have any interest in the underlying asset. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Please consider the Margin Trading Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Risk Disclosure Notice and Target Market Determination before entering into any CFD transaction with us.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through an IG share trading account can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure.
