OANDA has announced the expansion of its investment products in the European Union with the introduction of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The move gives investors access to more than 350 ETFs from global markets, offering new opportunities for portfolio diversification.
ETFs allow traders to invest in a broad market, sector, commodity, or asset group through a single transaction. Structured similarly to company shares, ETFs provide flexibility and cost-efficiency compared to traditional investment methods. With OANDA’s new offering, investors can diversify more easily while benefiting from competitive trading conditions.
The move comes on the heels of a change in hands of OANDA. The brokerage was sold by CVC Capital to FTMO, the proprietary trading firm. Headquartered in the Czech Republic, FTMO is a global provider of educational and training services, offering its customers an opportunity to test and develop their trading and risk management skills.
10 commission-free ETF transactions per month
Clients can execute up to 10 commission-free ETF transactions per month, covering up to 100,000 EUR in turnover. For transactions beyond this threshold, a minimum commission of 0.1% or 5 units in PLN, EUR, USD, or GBP applies. Customer support is available five days a week to assist at every stage of the investment process.
Marcin Niewiadomski, Managing Director for Europe at OANDA, commented, “The introduction of ETFs to our offering is another step towards providing investors with a full spectrum of modern and effective tools for building a diversified portfolio. ETFs are the most popular instrument for passive investing and an alternative, cheaper solution compared to standard investment funds. This way, we offer our clients access to global markets in a simple and cost-effective manner.”
OANDA offers access to more than 4,000 financial instruments, including single stocks, currencies, ETFs, and a wide range of CFDs. Clients can trade more than 1,600 stocks from leading exchanges, popular index futures contracts without daily swap points, and cryptocurrency-based CFDs without commissions.
Additional features include mobile investment management tools, daily trading ideas, and access to over 2,200 real stocks from Germany, France, Spain, the UK, Poland, and the United States. New clients who remain inactive can earn up to 7% APY on their average unused margin for the first 90 days after opening an account.
