CFDs on ETF

Contracts for difference on exchange traded funds (ETF) are similar to equity CFDs and on the other hand are close to index investment. Index investment is often more profitable than investing in a separate share and the dynamics of a share index is better than of a share and it is more stable.

However index investment is only affordable for large investors. Small investors cannot collect a large and diversified investing portfolio because of its high cost. The solution for this problem was found with establishment of index investment funds. These funds hold stocks of all the companies included in one or another stock index, and the funds' shares itself are the same way sold and bought in the stock exchange.

The main advantage of an exchange traded fund or index share is that it is several times smaller than the underlying stock index and at the same time follows or replicates its movement. Exchange traded funds are more affordable and the same dynamic as the underlying index.
