How to Buy iShares

How do I buy iShares?

ETFs can be bought and sold during local market hours through your broker or execution only platform. Note they cannot be bought directly from iShares.

ETFs have the same trading flexibility as stocks, so you can use all the trading strategies you already associate with stocks such as market orders, limit orders, stop orders, short sales and buying on margin. iShares can be purchased as part of your ISA or SIPP allowance in the UK.
