They have almost turned the page on Livret A: here is the IG investment that thousands of French people are adopting to invest

Since August 2026, the Livret A yields 1.7% per year. It is one of the favorite investments of the French, whose accessibility is appreciated, but the return does not really allow savings to grow in the long term. Many people keep their A booklet for security, but look for alternatives to this investment.

Among the interesting solutions, we find ETFs, also called trackers. The operation of this product is simple. An ETF replicates the performance of a stock index such as the CAC 40 or the S&P 500.

When you buy a share of an ETF, you are not investing in one company, but in dozens or hundreds at once. It is a practical investment to diversify your portfolio without having to select stocks gradually or follow the markets on a daily basis. Investing in ETFs with IG: how to do it?

Thanks to IG, you have access to more than 2000 European and American ETFs via a single platform. By investing in ETFs with IG, you have no commission or conversion rate. Only market spread and costs specific to certain ETFs apply.

Plus, you earn interest on your invested money. Opening an IG securities account can be done in just a few minutes. Simply answer a few questions to assess your knowledge, then download the dedicated mobile application, before funding your account by bank card, Apple Pay or by a simple transfer.

Thanks to the IG mobile application, you can follow trends in just a few clicks, place orders, analyze interactive charts or follow Reuters news. The point to remember, unlike the Livret A, an ETF does not offer any guarantee. Its value changes with the markets and you can lose all or part of the capital invested.

If you are investing for the long term, looking at ETFs with IG may be a good idea. Click here to open your IG account This content was produced by an expert from the BFMTV shopping team, independent of the BFMTV editorial staff. com.
