The company currently boasts a portfolio of 14 stock baskets. The list of companies and weightings is available on FXCM's stock basket website: https://www.fxcm.com/za/stock–baskets/

Following Coinbase's April IPO, Coinbase stock (COIN.us) quickly rose, in its first full month of trading, to the third most traded single share CFD at FXCM only trailing perennial leaders Tesla and Apple. Over the same period, Facebook, JPMorgan and Tencent Holdings (HK stock) all dropped out of the top ten.

While FAANG components made up three of the top five Single Share places, it was relegated to third most popular stock basket in May, eclipsed in trading volume by both the China Ecommerce and China Technology Basket, which led the volume ranks for the second consecutive month.
