What are indices?
Indices evaluate the price performance of a group of stocks on the stock exchange, such as the FTSE 100, which tracks the top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange. Trading indices allows you to open just one position and gain exposure to an entire economy or sector.
Novice investors in financial markets often choose to trade indices using a fund that tracks the index or a basket of stocks instead of buying and selling individual company stocks. CFDs allow you to speculate on changes in index prices without owning the actual underlying assets. Index trading provides access to a highly liquid market, and due to longer trading hours compared to most other markets, you can capture potential opportunities for an extended period of time.
