Pepperstone offers 14 of the largest stock indexes traded on the US, European and Asian stock markets:

These indexes are the underlying securities of the securities they represent, which means that the client is able to bet on the direction of prices, but not directly sell or buy the actual indexes, as CFDs are derivative investment products that track price movements. However, CFD transactions are identical to the buying and selling of actual indexes.
