Simple stock market investment
If an investor is bullish over the prospects of a particular market index, a tracker allows him to invest in it without having to invest in the underlying shares. As index-tracking CFDs don’t require the buying and selling of individual shares, they provide highly cost efficient market exposure.
Short sell Index-trackers for flexible trading
Just like ordinary CFDs, Index-tracking CFDs can be ‘sold short’– so if an individual believes a certain market index will fall, they can ‘sell’ it and potentially turn a profit. Because Index-tracking CFDs are linked to the performance of a stock index, investors can diversify investment risks across numerous stocks represented in the index. Index-tracking CFDs are the easiest way to gain exposure to global stock markets whether taking long or short positions.
