Social investment expert eToro has boosted its offering for traders via the addition of 100 new instruments.
The new instruments include Italian and Spanish stocks. The stocks represent various industries, including utilities, consumer goods and basic materials.
eToro now also offers a variety of exchange traded funds (ETFs) drawn from different national markets. The list includes the SPDR or Spider (which tracks the S&P 500 trading as SPY), QQQ (tracking the NASDAQ), IWM (tracking the Russell 2000 Index) and DIA (tracking the Dow Jones Industrial Average). Traders who are looking for longer term, and potentially lower risk, investments can make their pick from almost 30 ETFs.
There are also two new indices – the JPN225 and ITA40.
The launch of the new instruments happens soon after the new eToro social trading platform was rolled out. The company promises to make hundreds more new assets available for trading next year – including many from the emerging markets.
