About E*Trade UK

In 1998, ESI and E*TRADE Group founded E*TRADE UK. Defining the new territory where British investors can 'stalk' their next investment and 'pounce', timing their trade to the second. The launch of E*TRADE UK's online trading service is just a first step in a process which will fully exploit interactive channels to maximise benefits for the private individual over the years to come. Building on this vision, the aquisition of E*TRADE UK by E*TRADE Group in January 2000 promises to be a critical step towards the goal of developing the first global cross border network for online investors.

E*Trade UK offers several levels of service. Some of these require a monthly subscription while others, such as trading accounts, do not have a fee.

Features

Tracker Shares

Tracker shares mirror the fortunes of an index of shares, such as the FTSE 100 or S&P 500. They combine the benefits of a fund - instant diversification as your risk is spread across a whole sector - with the benefits of a share, in that they're easy to buy and sell and you receive dividends.

They are good for diversifying into many shares at the same time rather than 'putting all your eggs in one basket'. This can reduce risk. It is unlikely that an index, such as the FTSE 100 will ever fall to nil, whereas company shares can.
