| *Invest at least £300 by 31 July to get free SpaceX shares worth up to £1,000. T&Cs apply. IG ETF Investing & Trading Expert Review: Updated 08/07/2026 Is IG good for ETF investing and trading? Yes, with IG you have the option of either investing in the long term by buying ETFs in their general investment account, SIPP or ISA. Or you can speculate on them going up or down by going long or short via CFDs or financial spread bets. For more advanced investors you also have the options of investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs. These allow you to invest in ETFs that go up as the market goes down, which can be very useful for hedging your long-term portfolio against short term market crashes. You can also invest in ETFs that move based on how volatile the markets are. So as well as investing in company and index performance, you can for example, invest in the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF to potentially profit from volatile markets. Fees: Share dealing fees have just been removed which means you can buy and sell UK and US ETFs for free, with the exception of the FX charge when you buy US-denominated ETFs, where the foreign exchange fees are 0.5% on the conversion. A good choice for frequent ETF investors who want access to the US markets.
