New ETF CFD Collection Offers Diverse Global Market Options with Real-Time Access and Flexibility

LONDON, June 11, 2025 — EBC Financial Group (EBC) has introduced over 100 new U.S. Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) CFDs, expanding its range of products and giving its clients worldwide better access to varied trading opportunities. This launch demonstrates EBC’s dedication to providing institutional-level tools across various asset classes, with a focus on flexibility, transparency, and efficiency.

The new selection includes ETFs listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, offered by leading asset managers like Vanguard, iShares (BlackRock), and State Street Global Advisors. Thematic coverage includes a broad spectrum of global macro and sector-specific themes.

“This expansion shows our aim to combine smart product design with market relevance,” stated David Barrett, CEO of EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd. “These new products are a natural step for traders looking for focused exposure with greater strategic flexibility. At EBC, we are creating an ecosystem that supports both precision and performance.”

Thematic Access Paired with Tactical Flexibility

The added ETF-related instruments cover various market exposures, including geographic allocations like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, fixed income strategies like the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, and sector or commodity-based indices like the United States Oil Fund LP and the Vanguard Health Care ETF. Other themes include dividend-focused options, mid-cap equities, and style-based index tracking.

These developments show a wider industry interest in instruments that reflect asset allocation trends without requiring direct ownership of the underlying assets. Sector-specific and style-based index products are becoming more popular in many markets as participants seek flexible ways to align with global trends.

Historically, ETFs that track specific economic cycles—such as commodity recoveries or emerging market rebounds—have shown distinct performance. For example, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF significantly outperformed the S&P 500 during the post-pandemic recovery in 2021, demonstrating how thematic instruments can differ from broad indices based on market conditions.

These additions can be used as standalone trading ideas or as complementary instruments alongside EBC’s current offerings, enabling sophisticated portfolio construction and thematic trading.

Smarter Exposure: Leverage, Shorting, and Cost Efficiency in a Single Product

Compared to direct ETF investments, it offers several key advantages as traders benefit from a simpler cost structure without traditional fund management fees or broker commissions. The ability to take both long and short positions allows for strategic trading regardless of market direction, while leverage enhances capital efficiency and potential returns. These trades are executed in real time via EBC’s well-known platforms, providing easy access to market opportunities.

During important market cycles, such as the post-pandemic V-shaped recovery of 2021, certain thematic ETFs, like the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF, performed much better than broader indices like the S&P 500. Our portfolio enables traders to participate in similar trends, adapting quickly to changing market dynamics with precision and speed.
