Grand Capital has introduced stock ETFs, a new group of trading instruments for Standard, ECN Prime, and MT5 accounts. The list of available stock ETFs includes GLD, VOO, IWM, QQQ, VEA, SCHD, and USO.
Grand Capital clients now can invest in stock ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). An ETF tracks securities that certify the legal ownership of shares in a fund’s stock basket. The composition of an ETF can be similar to that of an index portfolio, but the former is more flexible and quick to change.
“ETF CFDs are a popular instrument among traders and investors because they are managed in accordance with more balanced and transparent rules. These instruments demonstrate smooth price movement even during periods of high volatility for individual stocks and indices. ETF CFD trading is a sure way to cut your trading losses,” said Goutam Das, our Director of Development in Africa.
The following symbols will be available for trading since September 21st on Standard, ECN Prime, and MT5 accounts at Grand Capital:
- GLD, SPDR Gold Trust – a trust with 100% gold-backed shares, the company’s own reserves.
