What is Capital.com Group?
capital.com-LogoCapital.com is an online stocks and CFD broker with offices in UK, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Australia and Belarus and a worldwide trading audience that last year traded more than $88 billion of financial assets.

The sector has been criticised by regulators in the past for promoting highly risky and unsuitable products to mainstream investors, some of whom will not understand the extent of the risks involved in trading on margin using leverage. But looking at this app, Capital.com is going the extra mile to communicate risk to its customers. Tight spreads and low charges have kept among the main contenders in the CFD broker space.
What Stocks Can You Trade on the Capital.com App?
The Capital.com stock app brings access to 3,000 markets you can trade on. The breakdown of instruments includes the following: 3118 shares, 33 indices, 64 commodities and 171 forex markets. That doesn’t add up to 3,000 but the figure is variable by region and this review is for the UK version of the app.Finding stocks is effortless. Touch the search tab – the middle icon of the five tab bar icons along the bottom of the view. It brings up the field to enter your search query at the top as seen in the screenshot above.

Exchange-traded funds industry ETFs are cheap (low management fees) providing access to asset classes by tracking and/or creating indices for assets. The issuer of the ETF directly buys asset or uses derivatives products to replicate the movement in prices of the asset. This has led to a proliferation of ETFs – at the end of 2019 there were 6,970 ETFs on the global market, according to data analytics firm Statista.

Today areas that have traditionally been hard to gain exposure to for ordinary traders and investors are now in reach, thanks to ETFs.

In the screenshot above, see the themes and sectors that ETFs are able to home in on and specialist areas. In the view above you get a flavour of this breadth: AI Powered Equity ETF – uses algos to guide portfolio management of equities

Take the ARK Innovation ETF listed above. It invests in companies that are “disruptive innovators”. Purchasing the ETF with Capital.com’s CFDs, will give you exposure to a portfolio that includes Tesla, Crispr, Square, Teladoc Health, Zillow and Roku among its top 10 holdings.
Other Asset Classes
Our Capital.com app review found that it has one of the most extensive number of markets in forex but not all of the pairs are available through the app. The same would appear to be the case with many other instruments. Nevertheless the range and quality of available markets is still good.

Indices: 33 indices of various types are available on the app. To get to them, when on the Trade section (left button on tab bar at bottom of view), slide the category names left or right to find ‘indices’. Alternatively just swipe left or right to switch between instrument categories.

In addition to all the indices for the major markets, such as the FTSE 100 Dow Jones 30 and the S&P 500, there are also smaller ones like the Swiss SMI 20. Asian Indices include China exposure through the FTSE China A50.

Forex: Capital.com lists 137 major and minor currency pairs according to research by stockapps.com. Major pairs are those of the most heavily traded currencies globally.

In this section f the app there are buttons for the most popular currencies that can be scrolled through, just below the scrolling category names. Taping on a currency button will bring up all the market pairs for the currency.

Commodities: There are 64 commodities instruments to trade on. Markets include oil, gold, silver, coffee and palladium. But in addition to the ‘normal’ commodities, there are also ‘commodities options’ (oil, gold natural gas). In addition to all the major soft and hard commodities traded globally, there is an interesting inclusion of Carbon Emission, which tracks the spot price of the EUA carbon credits. The EUA is the European Union Allowance and is a tradeable unit. The holder of an EAU has the right to release one tonne of carbon dioxide or equivalent gases into the atmosphere.

Other categories of assets shown in the app, in addition to shares and those highlighted above are: Futures, thematic investments (for example, Berkshire 10 Index and US Cannabis Index) and oil markets (oil company shares).
