Admiral.Invest is an account type designed for investing in publicly listed stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Some of the key differences of Admiral.Invest in comparison to other account types at Admiral Markets include:

• Investors make transactions on a cash basis and not on a margin basis. Technically speaking, investors have to post 100% of the transaction value to buy an asset, which translates to a leverage of 1:1.
• Short trading (i.e., selling of a security without actually owning it) or loans are not available. You can sell only the stocks and ETFs that are already held in your Admiral.Invest account;
• Hedging/locking of portfolio positions by opposite positions is not possible;
• In Admiral.Invest accounts, there are no margin calls or Stop Out levels as long as there is no leverage.

Here is a link to a comprehensive comparison and detailed description of our trading account types.

Technically, the process of buying a share in ETF and buying a single stock within the Admiral.Invest account is exactly the same. The difference between these two instruments is the extent of investors’ exposure to a particular market or sector of the economy. Whilst some companies are more successful than other direct competitors, the investor’s portfolio of a single company stock remains solely reliant on the performance of the management of this company. At the same time, ETFs offer investors the possibility to diversify issuer risk related to stocks and to gain exposure to the entire sector of the economy, as if the investor was buying stocks of all the relevant companies of this sector. Instead of making dozens and even hundreds of transactions in the stocks of relevant sector companies, an investor may choose to buy a share in the thematic ETF by executing a single transaction, thus saving on trading fees and gaining the desired exposure level.

Not at the moment, but we are working hard to enable this option for our clients in the future.
