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 stocks that make up an index, such as the Nasdaq or the S&P 500, or that make up a megatrend sector such as AI, robotics, or space technology.

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 can always check the type of ETF, its cost 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.

Are you under 30 and want to invest?

If you're thinking about taking the plunge, now's your chance. With BBVA Stock Exchange Trader, you can invest in stocks and ETFs with a fee structure designed for young people, with no custody fees and just €0.99 per trade.

If you sign up before the age of 30, you can keep this rate forever.

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 €100, so you can invest big, starting with a small amount.

How does an ETF work?

  • Invest in the stock market

    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.

  • And diversify effectively

    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.

You can access the ETF search engine and start the purchase process from your Securities Account. Simply look for the "Trade securities" option to start the 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.
  • Check each listing for historical performance, real-time prices, and current quotes to see the minimum investment you can make.

Once you purchase your first ETF, all the information will be available by checking your securities account in the BBVA app and website:

  • Track the price of the ETF and its performance.
  • If you want to increase your contribution to the same ETF, you can do so easily from your online account.
  • Buy other ETFs to increase your investment, at your own pace.
