ETF Exchange-traded funds

Invest like the pros

Ensure your investment mirrors the major market indexes.

What is an ETF?

An ETF is an exchange-traded fund that invests in the same shares that make up an index, such as the IBEX 35 or the S&P 500.

This way, by purchasing a single ETF, you're buying a small portion of all the companies that make up that index, allowing you to diversify your investment very easily.

With the advantages of doing it with BBVA

  • Lower costs

    Buying an ETF with BBVA is more efficient than replicating the index yourself, because you only need to complete one transaction.

  • Total transparency

    Through the BBVA app, you'll always know what your ETF is invested in, its composition, and its daily value.

  • Growth your way

    From small amounts, you decide your initial contribution. Plus, you can buy more ETFs whenever you want to grow your investment.

We'll help you find an ETF

Since we know that making decisions isn't always easy, we've created a selection of ETFs that stand out for their potential. 

With this selection we assure you that:

  • They are a representation of the largest global indexes.
  • They are ETFs that generate returns higher than inflation over the long term.
  • We've selected those priced under €120, so you can invest big, starting with a small amount.

How does an ETF work?

  • Unlike other funds, an ETF is bought and sold in real time on the stock exchange, so its price changes throughout the day, just like a stock.
  • When you invest in an ETF based on major global indexes, you're actually investing in a large basket of the most relevant companies, allowing you to diversify easily and at a lower cost than buying all of those stocks individually.

Find out how to invest in an ETF

To start investing in ETFs, you'll need a Securities Account.

  • It's like a checking account, but it can't be used to make payment or save money. It can only be used to manage financial assets like ETFs.
  • You can open it easily from your online banking. Just go to the Apply section and then to Stock exchange and markets.
  • Your Securities Account will give you access to specialized market services and alerts on your smartphone.

If you already have a Securities Account with BBVA, you can purchase an ETF directly.

Use the ETF search to find the one that best matches your interests. You can start the application process from the same search.

  • More than 400 ETFs to choose from.
  • You can use the 'Selected ETFs' filter to see those that stand out for their potential, chosen by our expert investment team.
  • View your ETF on Trading View's advanced charts, perform technical analysis, and more.

Once you've purchased your first ETF, all the information is available in the Stock exchange and markets section of your app and on the BBVA website.

  • Check its performance.
  • Increase your contribution.
  • Buy other ETFs
