WhoTrades offers clients a great variety of trading instruments:

Equities

Equity is a stock or any other security representing an ownership interest. A stock is a type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

ETF is a security that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets like an index fund, but trades like a stock on an exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold.

ADRs

ADR is a negotiable certificate issued by a US bank representing a specified number of shares (or one share) in a foreign stock that is traded on a US exchange. ADRs are denominated in US dollars, with the underlying security held by a US financial institution overseas.
