CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Thematic indexes
Trade CFDs on curated megatrend baskets covering AI, clean energy, and healthcare innovation, as a single position instead of picking individual stocks.

Compare accountsAvailable themes and composition
Each index groups multiple companies exposed to the same trend rather than tracking one company or sector.
IUX's thematic index CFDs group companies around a small set of curated categories: AI, clean energy, healthcare innovation, biotech and digital innovation. Each index is constructed and rebalanced against a defined methodology, not assembled from whatever is trending that week.
Portfolio use
A thematic index CFD spreads company-specific risk, a single earnings miss, management change, or product delay, across a basket, while keeping exposure to the underlying trend intact. That is different from picking individual stocks within a theme, where one name's decline can offset gains from the rest of the position. This suits medium-to-long-term positioning around a trend rather than single-session trading.
Spreading risk across a basket reduces exposure to any single company. It does not reduce the risk of trading CFDs with leverage, and losses can still exceed your deposit.

03
Get exposure to an entire theme in a single position instead of building and rebalancing a basket of individual stock CFDs yourself.

FAQ
A regular index like the S&P 500 tracks a broad market by size or sector weighting. A thematic index instead groups companies by exposure to one trend, such as AI or clean energy, regardless of sector or market cap, so its performance is more concentrated around that specific trend than a broad benchmark.
IUX offers thematic index CFDs across a curated set of megatrend categories: AI, clean energy, healthcare innovation, biotech and digital innovation. Each index is built and rebalanced using a defined methodology. The exact list of currently tradable indices is confirmed on the trading platform before it appears here.
Thematic index CFDs suit traders looking for medium-to-long-term exposure to a specific trend rather than short-term scalping, since the underlying theme typically plays out over months or years, not single trading sessions.
