What are Indices?
Indices are assets that are grouped together and represent the collective price performance of a number of shares, specific sectors of a market or a whole market. Indices are generally traded with financial derivatives such as CFDs or spread bets.
Why trade Indices?
Index trading is a relatively secure form of trading and the risks of trading indices are lower than the risks of investing in individual stocks
They are the least manipulative financial instruments
Unlike individual companies, indices cannot go bankrupt because they are composed of individual shares
