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 are better than those 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 investment portfolio because of its high cost. The solution to this problem was found with the establishment of index investment funds. These funds hold stocks of all the companies included in one or another
stock index, and the funds' shares themselves are sold and bought in a similar manner on 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.
