Trade ESG shares and ETFs on CFDs with us
CFDs
Buy or sell contracts based on whether you think a market's price will rise or fall
Trading company and ETF shares
Since you’ll be using CFDs to trade company or ETF shares with us, you’ll trade with leverage. This means that your initial outlay is decreased significantly compared to investing as you’ll only need a deposit, known as margin, to open your position while getting full exposure. Leverage magnifies both possible profits and losses. Therefore, it’s vital that you manage your risk appropriately.
What is ESG trading?
ESG trading focuses on environmental, social, and corporate governance factors, which help to measure a company’s sustainability and societal impact.
A focus on ESG is considered to add value to a company with a likely increase in longevity.
ESG trading enables you to buy and sell, or take a position on the share price movements of assets where environmental, social and governance factors are measured and compared.
There’s been a trend of companies driving positive change actively through ESG that’s grown tremendously. These companies go beyond just making a profit – they are committed to shaping a better, more sustainable future. By trading them, you’d be supporting their efforts and eventual societal impacts.
