A stock index is one of the most popular investment products among investors. Stock indices track the performance of a basket of individual stocks, enabling the investor to trade on the performance of that stock market as a whole, rather than buying/selling shares in individual companies within the index.
A stock index reflects local economic conditions. The popular/main stock markets are: US30, UK100, Japan Index and HK50. Ideal investment opportunities: All index transactions can be traded in real-time immediately. Low entry point to the market. Investors may invest in small deal sizes and may benefit from the international stock market fluctuations with long-term and short-term buy-in and sell-out strategies.
