The index is also market capitalization weighted, so a company\u2019s weighting in the index is determined based on its market cap, with larger companies making up a bigger share of the index.<\/p><h3>Two ways to invest in the FTSE 100 from Canada<\/h3><p>It\u2019s not possible to invest directly in the FTSE 100. However, there are two main ways to gain exposure to the companies featured in the FTSE 100.<\/p><h4>1. Invest in a FTSE 100 ETF or mutual fund<\/h4><p>You can get exposure to the index by investing in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/exchange-traded-funds-etfs\">exchange-traded fund<\/a> (ETF) or mutual fund which tracks the performance of the stocks in the FTSE 100.<\/p><p>When you buy an FTSE 100 ETF or mutual fund, you are not investing directly in the companies in the index. Most FTSE 100 ETFs will hold shares in the companies in the index, but you won\u2019t actually own company shares yourself simply for buying the ETF.<\/p><p>However, the ETF\u2019s performance will generally aim to mirror the performance of the stocks in the index. For example, if the FTSE 100 increases in value by 2%, your ETF should also increase close to 2%.<\/p><p>To invest in an ETF or mutual fund, you\u2019ll generally need to pay a fee of around 0.07% to 0.25% each year, as well as any trading commissions charged by the broker.<\/p><h4>Types of ETF<\/h4><p>Most FTSE 100 ETFs will fully track the performance of the FTSE 100, meaning the fund is weighted more towards the companies with higher market capitalization. However, there are some ETFs that invest in the companies in the index equally. This means the performance of smaller companies will have a larger impact on the ETF, relative to their size.<\/p><p>There are a couple of other ETF types to consider.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Short ETFs.<\/strong> There are a number of short FTSE 100 ETFs, which effectively bet against the performance of the index. If the FTSE 100 goes down, the value of a short ETF should go up. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/how-to-short-a-stock\">shorting stocks (or \u201cshort-selling\u201d)<\/a> in our guide.<\/li><li><strong>Leveraged ETFs.<\/strong> Leveraged ETFs multiply the gains and losses of the index, meaning you\u2019ll get a higher or lower return relative to the size of your investment. You\u2019re effectively borrowing extra capital to potentially increase your returns. For example, if you invest \u00a31,000 in a FTSE 100 ETF with 10x leverage and it goes up 5%, you\u2019d make \u00a3500 instead of \u00a350. However, the same would apply to losses.<\/li><\/ul><h4>Examples of low-cost FTSE 100 ETFs and mutual funds<\/h4><table class=\"luna-table luna-table--responsiveList\"><thead class=\"luna-table__header\"><tr><th scope=\"col\">Fund<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Ticker<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Type<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Expense ratio<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><td data-title=\"Fund\">Vanguard FTSE 100 UCITS ETF \u2013 (GBP) Distributing<\/td><td data-title=\"Ticker\">VUKE<\/td><td data-title=\"Type\">ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Expense ratio\">0.09%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-title=\"Fund\">Invesco FTSE 100 UCITS ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Ticker\">S100<\/td><td data-title=\"Type\">ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Expense ratio\">0.09%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-title=\"Fund\">iShares Core FTSE 100 UCITS ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Ticker\">ISF<\/td><td data-title=\"Type\">ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Expense ratio\">0.07%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-title=\"Fund\">HSBC FTSE 100 UCITS ETF GBP<\/td><td data-title=\"Ticker\">H4ZB<\/td><td data-title=\"Type\">ETF<\/td><td data-title=\"Expense ratio\">0.07%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-title=\"Fund\">Vanguard FTSE 100 Index Unit Trust<\/td><td data-title=\"Ticker\">VAFTIGA<\/td><td data-title=\"Type\">Mutual fund<\/td><td data-title=\"Expense ratio\">0.06%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h4>2. Buy FTSE 100 stocks individually<\/h4><p>Your second option is to select individual companies from the FTSE 100 to invest in. This allows you to choose exactly which companies to add to your portfolio, and it\u2019s easy to buy individual stocks from the FTSE 100 index using an online trading platform.<\/p><p>But this approach is a lot more time-consuming than investing in an ETF or mutual fund. You\u2019ll also pay more in brokerage fees because you\u2019ll need to make multiple trades \u2014 unless you can find an online broker that offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/commission-free-stock-trading\">commission-free stock trading<\/a> on the London Stock Exchange.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Must read: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/how-to-buy-stocks\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">How to buy stocks online<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h4>Are there any other ways to invest in the FTSE 100?<\/h4><p>If you\u2019re an experienced trader, you could consider trading FTSE 100 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/cfd-trading\">contracts for difference (CFDs)<\/a>. These financial derivatives allow you to predict the price movement of an underlying asset without ever taking ownership of that asset. However, CFDs are highly complicated and risky, so they\u2019re not suitable for new investors.<\/p><h3>Is now a good time to invest in the FTSE 100 in Canada?<\/h3><p>It\u2019s a good question. As of early September 2025, the UK economy is sluggish. With a weak economic outlook and political uncertainty, the Bank of England governor warned in June 2025 that UK economic growth would slow to a \u201cmore moderate pace\u201d in coming times.<\/p><p>But at the same time, the FTSE 100 has recently been trading at all-time highs. This is in part due to the fact that around 80% of FTSE 100 company revenue is earned overseas, so domestic economic issues have less of an impact on the index than you might expect.<\/p><p>These all-time highs can also make investors hesitant to pull the trigger, instead waiting for a pullback and attempting to buy the dip. Of course, perfectly timing the market is more or less impossible, with the old clich\u00e9 that time in the market is more important.<\/p><p>That said, whether or not now is a good time to invest in the FTSE 100 really depends on your own personal situation. What are your investment goals? What\u2019s your time frame? How much risk are you willing to tolerate? Answering these questions will help you decide if FTSE 100 stocks or ETFs are right for you.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\"
