ETFs
One order, hundreds of companies: invest in a whole market instead of picking single stocks.
An ETF (exchange-traded fund) tracks an index — a broad world index, a single country, a sector. Buy a unit and your money is spread across everything in that index at once. It is the simplest way to own a slice of a market without choosing individual companies.
Spread by design
A single ETF can hold hundreds or thousands of companies across countries and sectors.
Low running costs
Most ETFs charge a small yearly fee (TER), shown before you buy. ETFs available: number you offer.
Once or every month
Buy in one go, or set up a savings plan and invest a fixed amount automatically.
How to choose an ETF
- Index: what exactly the ETF follows — the world, one region, one theme.
- Costs: the TER, plus the spread when you buy and sell.
- Size and age: larger, established funds tend to be cheaper to trade.
- Distributing or accumulating: whether dividends are paid out to you or reinvested.
- Replication: whether the ETF holds the stocks directly or uses swaps.
How to start
Pick an index
Decide which market you want to own — broad or focused.
Compare ETFs
Several providers often track the same index; compare costs and size.
Buy or set a plan
Place a single order or start a monthly savings plan.
An ETF moves with its index, down as well as up. Spreading your money lowers single-company risk; it does not remove market risk.
