ETFs, or exchange-traded funds are unique investment products that allow investors to express their views on specific markets or sectors, as well as the broader stock markets, in a specific country or globally. These funds trade on an exchange just like regular stocks, offering investors plenty of flexibility when trading them. One popular example is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) which is a popular ETF that tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index, offering investors exposure to the largest 500 companies in the US.

Trading ETF CFDs with Dual CapitalX means you trade on direct underlying exchange prices with no additional mark-ups added to the bid/offer spread. Instead, you’ll pay a small commission per trade placed. Here’s the breakdown:
What we offer are a wide variety of contracts-for-difference (CFDs) on ETFs for day trading or other trading styles. In trading CFDs, you’re not taking ownership (buying or selling) of your stake in an ETF on a particular exchange. Rather, you’re making an assumption on the underlying price of the ETF. This means you can go long and short without restrictions, since there’s no ownership interest on the individual stocks or mutual funds. If you anticipate a particular market sector or region to experience a decline in growth and value, you can short an ETF CFD in the same, straight-forward manner as you would buy an ETF CFD were you to see it appreciating in value.
ETF CFDs also enable you to trade with leverage, which means you only need a portion of the notional value of your trade to enter it, reducing your capital requirements. This means you can trade more and expose your capital to a wider array of opportunities. There are several other advantages listed below, and like any financial asset, there are risks involved.
