The competitive online broker
ActivTrades offers a great choice of instruments to enlarge your trading
portfolio, including bonds and indices. Both instruments are not much popular probably
due to their specific characteristics, but definitely deserve attention.
As a kind of investment bonds are known as „debt security”, a sort of IOU,
because when you buy a bond you’re actually loaning money to the entity that
issued it. Also they are often called “fixed income” investments due to the fact that the amount of money you
receive and the dates on which you receive payments are specified in advance,
or „fixed”. And
usually the fixed income securities are considered as less riskier than stocks.
Comparing to stocks again, which give insights to the
financial conditions of a specific company, indices on the other hand provide a
really good representation of markets’ nature and sectors as a whole. When
trading indices, it’s very important to follow events
that affect their values, such as geopolitical news, monthly employment reports
and economic reports.
As
you see bonds and indices are very interesting
and broad matter that you can take advantage of.
Through ActivTrades you can access major indices and fixed incomes and
trade for example the S&P500 from a competitive spread of 0.5 points and
0.02 on the Bond. The required margins to open a position are lower than
the margins required for a standard Futures contract with 1:400 leverage and as the Futures, the ActivTrades CFDs contracts on indices and fixed incomes have
expiry dates and no overnight fees.
Also you can trade bonds and indices with no hidden fees and leverage up to 1:400 and all these instruments are
available on PC, smartphone and tablets through Metatrader 4, Metatrader 5 and of course with
the devoted 24/5 client support.
