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.

How to buy and sell ETFs with us
With IG, there are two ways that you can gain exposure to ETFs:
Trading ETFs
Take a short-term position on ETF prices via CFDs. You can gain full market exposure while only putting down a small initial deposit. Remember, CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
Investing in ETFs
Take a position on ETFs over the long term by using our share trading service. Keep your costs down, with commission from zero on International ETFs when you trade with instant conversion.2
