Single Stock ETFs
Affordable Investments in Global Brands
Line of funds
The International Trading System (ITS) trading platform offers ETF funds on individual shares of global companies.
The solution is suitable for:
-investors with small capital;
-beginners who want to try out stock market transactions;

How it works
1
TSLA shares are priced at ~$300 per share. The fund buys shares.
2
The value of the shares is divided into parts – for example, 1 Single Stock ETF = 1/100 of a TSLA share.
3
The investor buys the ETF for $3 instead of $300.
4
The fund price follows the dynamics of the original TSLA share.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much money do I need to get started?
You may buy 1 ETF share for less than $10, depending on the company and the current market price of the underlying asset.
There are no restrictions on the minimum investment amount or money in the account.
What about dividends?
If the company pays dividends, they are distributed in proportion to the Single Stock ETF, without accounting for fractional cents.
If the original stock pays a dividend of $5.75 per share, the holder of a Single Stock ETF at a 1:100 ratio would receive a dividend of $0.05.
What is the risk of a Single Stock ETF? Is it safe?
A Single Stock ETF reflects the price of a single stock and bears the same market risks as the issuing company:
- if the price of the underlying stock falls, the ETF falls;
- the underlying stock rises, the ETF rises;
- Single Stock ETFs depend on the price of a single stock, so they are more volatile than diversified index funds;
- as with stock investments, the loss cannot exceed the initial amount invested;
- there are no hidden credit or currency risks — everything is settled in U.S. dollars.
