What are ETFs at OANDA TMS?

An ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) is an investment fund that tracks the performance of a specific index, commodity, bond, or other asset. An ETF is a passive fund type that operates similarly to stocks – it can be bought and sold on the exchange during the trading day.

Refer to detailed information on ETFs on our website.

  • Exchange listing—ETFs are bought and sold like stocks.

  • Diversification—Investing in an ETF gives exposure to many assets simultaneously.

  • Low management costs—Most ETFs are passively managed, which means lower fees than traditional investment funds.

  • Transparency—Investors know what a specific ETF invests in because portfolio compositions are published regularly.

  • Flexibility—ETFs can be bought at any stage of the trading day, unlike traditional funds that settle at the day’s end.

You need to have a live account (CFDs account) and a Stocks account.

If you have both accounts, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Client Zone.

  2. Click on FILL NOW on the ETF banner.

  3. Complete the MiFID questionnaire.

  4. ETFs will be added to your Stocks account for trading.

If you do not have a Stocks account, the MiFID questionnaire can be completed while you are creating a Stocks account. Once done, ETFs will be added to your Stocks account for trading.

You can trade ETFs on the OANDA mobile app or MetaTrader 5.

Refer to the list of all available ETFs on our website.
