Dip your finger into some of the world’s juiciest company pies by adding global corporate & government bonds to your portfolio. When you buy a bond, you’re essentially lending money to a company - and global bonds offer a larger, more diversified opportunity compared to single-country portfolios. This is an index that includes bonds from developed and emerging markets issuers within the governmental, industrial, utility and financial sectors.
Remember, your capital is at risk
ETFs are not only a great way to gain exposure to major stock market indices, like the S&P 500 or FTSE All-Share, but also enable you to access more niche markets or specific sectors.
Exchange-traded funds are exempt from the 0.50% stamp duty. Hold your ETFs as part of an ISA or SIPP tax wrapper, and you can access additional tax benefits.
When buying ETFs, you invest in a basket of stocks that will mirror how a specific index performs without buying all the stocks individually.
ETFs are less management fees involved. They also tend to be less costly than purchasing individual shares - fewer transactions, less trading costs.
