Trading 212 should try offering same as eToro. Presumably eToro finds it profitable to offer these 1:1 leverage CFDs that come with no overnight interest.

At least for the Popular ARK ETFs they should offer it.
So if I buy ark on cfd account I use a laverage?
That is right, all of the ARK instruments are leveraged.

Wish these were available in the ISA.
Can you explain for beginners like me that would like to invest long term in Ark etfs what the difference in buying the real etf (which I understand is not possible with your company) and buying the CFD? It’s more expensive, more risky or what? Thank you
I’d probably Google a CFD guide if you’re that unsure before committing to anything.
That would be the best way to understand your risks.

Simplified answer
When you buy ETF under ISA or invest account, you own the undeliying asset. With CFD you do not own the undelining asset. CFD trading will let you speculate on share prices, receives revenue (if you win) based on the price change of that asset. without having to own them.
To enhance the result, It will normally come with leverage X2, X3, X5, etc. As you do not own the underlying assets there is an overnight / weekend fee to pay (similar with interest).
Use practice accunt to familiarize yourself. Do not start using real money until you understnad the fee structure and risk involved. Also If you still want to know more, ask Investopedia
or professor google.
