Important Information: When you trade ETFs or ETCs, your capital is at risk.
ETFs and ETCs are traded through online brokers and traditional broker dealers.
They can be found on most online investing platforms, and investing apps such as InvestEngine, Trading 212 and many more. Many of these platforms offer commission-free trading, allowing investors to buy and sell ETFs or ETCs without paying fees to the platform providers.
You can find the product you wish to trade by searching for the product name or ticker. All ETFs will have a product name and a ticker symbol along with a unique identifier and ISIN number. For example, the Emerging Markets Internet and E-commerce ETF has the ticker symbol ‘EMQQ ’. You can find the ISIN and identifiers on the ETF’s fact sheet on the issuer’s website. Please be aware each trading line has a slightly different ticker. For example see ‘EMQQ’ below, the Sterling line is ‘EMQP’. Therefore, it is possible that your trading platform could use any of the tickers so be sure to search them all; bearing in mind that they are in different trading currencies.

When an ETF issuer talks about “NAV” they are referring to the Net Asset Value of the fund. The NAV represents the per share or unit price of the fund. This is usually calculated each business day by the administrator of the ETF. This is very similar to what you see for mutual funds.
The bid price is the price that someone is willing to pay for an ETF and the offer is the price at which they are willing to sell. Therefore, if you want to buy the ETF you will pay the offer price, which is the price that someone is willing to sell to you – and vice versa.
ETFs don’t rely on two-way order flow to create a bid/offer spread. There are always market makers who make two-way prices electronically to ensure investors can always buys and sell when the market is open.
A limit order ensures that you get a price for the ETF which is within the range of your maximum or minimum price that you are willing to pay or receive (your limit). It offers you some protection from sudden market moves so this is the way in which we recommend you place the majority of your ETF orders.
The broker/platform that you use may allow you to specify how long you want the order to remain live. For example, the market price may never reach your limit as the price moves away from your limit order price.
In some instances, you may not want your order to remain live while you are not monitoring the market. Limit orders can be set for the day (GTD) or good till cancelled (GTC) which will remain in the system until you cancel them.
A market order is where the broker/platform sends your order to the market to be executed as quickly as possible. Your order is likely to be executed immediately as there should always be a market maker in our ETFs showing prices at which they are willing to buy and sell.
However, market orders are not always recommended as the price you receive may vary significantly from the price you may have seen on-screen just before you hit the execute “button”.
There are a few reasons for this, but some examples are:
All investors hope that their investments quickly become profitable but there are some key risks you should consider:
Online investment platforms and stock brokers have access to their home stock exchange. For example, UK brokers will have access to the London Stock Exchange. Many larger brokers will also have access to overseas exchanges such as Borsa Italiana and Deutsche Boerse.
