ETFs and ETNs

Exchange Traded Funds: Short of time and want to avoid analyzing shares? Looking for a low to medium risk investment? Exchange Traded Funds may be the right instruments for you. They pool assets, such as local and international shares or indices.

Exchange Traded Notes: These structured products add an element of credit risk. ETNs are issued as senior debt and behave more like bonds rather than equities.

What's the difference between investing and trading?

Trading

Trading is for the short term - holding an asset for a week or often just a day.

Investing

Investing is for the long haul, most often
for years.

Traders exploit price fluctuations and buy and sell assets fast. On the other hand, the aim of investing is building wealth by holding on to an
instrument, earning interest or dividends. The risk of trading is higher, but the potential returns are also higher. For investments, daily price swings are immaterial. What counts is the quality of an asset and its prospects for long-term price appreciation. Equities are excellent investment vehicles, but traders often prefer trading share contracts for difference, or share CFDs, which are derivative instruments.

Check out the ThinkMarkets range of South African and international share CFDs, and other assets, including currency pairs, indices and commodities by visiting our trading and derivatives page.
