Trade the whole market in a single position

Instead of picking the winner, take a view on the index itself — the S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100, the Dow and more.

Why trade indices?

An index spreads your exposure across dozens or hundreds of companies at once, which is a very different risk shape from a single stock.

Instant diversification

One position, hundreds of companies. No single earnings miss sinks you.

Long trading hours

Index products trade well beyond the underlying exchange's opening bell.

Long or short

Take a view in either direction without borrowing a single share.

Easy to follow

The headline number is on every news bulletin, so you're never guessing where it stands.

Before you trade indices: An index can fall for months at a time, and diversification limits company-specific risk without removing market risk. Leverage magnifies losses as readily as gains, and you can lose more than you expect. Only commit money you could afford to lose.

Prefer it managed?

If you'd rather not place the orders yourself, a managed plan runs to a set amount and duration.
