How to invest
ETFs trade on an exchange like a normal share and are available through all good online brokers, stockbrokers and Independent Financial Advisers.
ETFs are also generally eligible for inclusion in ISAs and SIPPs. Unlike many open ended funds, trading shares on an exchange does not incur either a subscription or a redemption charge and there is no Stamp Duty to pay on ETFs. However, as with other types of share, you will generally pay a brokerage fee to buy or sell ETF shares. To invest, you will need to have the unique identifier for the fund - the ISIN code or the SEDOL.
Before investing in an ETF, you should always take appropriate advice and make sure you read the prospectus. If you require any further information on Exchange Traded Funds, read our ETFs explained section or contact your Financial Advisor.
Information for Advisers and Institutional Investors
For any major trades, it may be more efficient to go direct to a Market Maker or Authorised Participant to trade, rather than buying on an exchange. Institutional buyers may get a better price than those quoted on an exchange
