What are ETF CFDs?
ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) CFDs are a contract that allows traders to speculate at a lower cost on the increase (or decrease) in value of a group of stocks that have been selected by industry - such as biotech or robotics. Unlike index funds, which are priced at the end of each day, traders can buy and sell ETFs during the day. This means that investors can move in and out of these funds in a similar way to how they trade stocks. Learn more about ETFs below.

ETF FAQs
What is an ETF CFD?
ETF stands for Exchange-traded fund and they’re a group of stocks from a particular sector, such as tech or energy.
A CFD is a contract for difference so you can trade on the price movement of an ETF but you don’t own the underlying asset. ETF CFD traders speculate on the price movement (up or down) of the ETF and profit if their prediction is correct.
How do I trade ETF CFDs?
Equiti offers ETF CFDs to trade. Like the other products we offer, you can choose the ETF CFD you wish to trade and place a buy or sell order with us. Visit our ETF page to see what ETFs you can trade.
What are the advantages of trading ETF CFDs?
Trading an ETF CFD has a few advantages like using leverage and trading in real-time during market hours. You can also potentially ‘sell short’ at a profit if you think the price will fall.
What are the risks of trading ETF CFDs?
It’s important to remember that leveraged products amplify losses as well as profits. Always manage your risk appetite responsibly and use our risk management tools and strategies to help prevent potential losses.
What is the difference between an ETF CFD and an ETF?
When you trade a CFD, you don’t own the underlying asset, you just trade on the price movement you speculate on.
How are ETF CFDs priced?
All ETF CFDs are priced on the underlying asset. The price of an ETF CFD is determined by the bid and ask prices and is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, market conditions and news events.
What does leverage mean and how can I use it with ETF CFDs?
At Equiti, you can use leverage up to 1:5, which means you can trade ETF CFDs with more exposure than the amount you put in. Leverage boosts your trading power by using only a fraction of the position's cost. For example, if you add $100 with a leverage of 1:5, you can open a position worth $500. Always remember that leverage works both ways so your losses can be equally greater too.
