On eToro, you can search for different kinds of ETFs<\/a> and invest on the platform, as well as see what others are investing in. We\u2019ll walk you through, step by step, in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve done your research, learned about ETFs<\/e-tip>, and now you\u2019re ready to invest. But where do you get started? All you need is an eToro account, a few minutes, and at least $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get started, you\u2019ll need to make sure your eToro account is registered and verified. If you don\u2019t have an account yet, register for one and complete the verification process<\/strong>. If you do, simply log in using your credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fund your account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re registered and verified, the next step is to put funds into your account. You can do this by hitting the \u201cFund my account\u201d button, then linking your bank account or PayPal and initiating a transfer. You can fund your account with as little as $10<\/strong>, as this is the minimum amount that you\u2019ll need to invest in a fractional share<\/e-tip>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search ETFs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, you\u2019ll have to choose an ETF to invest in. You can do this by navigating to the Discover page and hitting the \u201cETF\u201d button, or by searching a particular ETF ticker<\/e-tip>. You can also search for certain descriptions of ETFs, such as \u201cESG ETF\u201d or \u201cBond ETF,\u201d if you are interested in a particular type of ETF but don\u2019t know what ETFs are offered in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you browse your choices, you can click on an individual ETF to get more information on it, including charts that track previous performance, relevant statistics, and information on who manages it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>
\n

Tip:<\/strong> On eToro, you can find conversations about the ETF on its Discover page \u2014 from both news outlets and other users. This gives you additional information that may help you decide if you want to invest.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Purchase your ETF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve found the right ETF for you, you can click the green button at the bottom of the screen (or top right, on desktop). There, you\u2019ll be asked to enter the amount of money you\u2019d like to invest in the ETF. Remember, you can invest in a fractional share for as little as $10<\/strong> \u2014 that\u2019s true for any ETF on eToro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve entered the amount, click \u201cBuy.\u201d It should only take a moment for your action to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ETFs can be a powerful tool to help diversify your portfolio. Whether you\u2019re a beginner or a seasoned investor, you can get the investing tools you need on eToro. And if you\u2019re still not ready to invest real money, try experimenting with the virtual portfolio<\/a>, where you can practice investing in ETFs (and other assets) with $100k of fake money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
