How ETF CFD trading works.
An ETF is a fund that trades on an exchange like a share and tracks a basket, such as an index, a sector or a commodity. An ETF CFD lets you trade that price with one position and go long or short.
- ETFs that track major indices, such as the S&P 500
- Sector and theme ETFs, such as technology or energy
- Go long or short from one order ticket

| Owning an ETF | ETF CFD | Managed fund | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You own the units | No ownership, a contract on the price | You own units in the fund |
| Long and short | Long only, usually | Long or short | Long only, usually |
| Leverage | None, unless you borrow | Yes, which magnifies gains and losses | None |

What it costs to trade.
ETF CFDs carry a spread or commission and overnight financing on open positions. You do not own the units, and fund distributions are handled as adjustments in your account, not as income.

An ETF is a fund you buy and hold. An ETF CFD tracks its price, lets you trade falls as well as rises, and uses leverage, which magnifies gains and losses.
Yes, you can trade mutual funds, but how you trade them depends on the type of fund.
