Energy and Utilities
With a limited number of constituents, the PSI is more concentrated and less liquid than indices such as the DAX or CAC 40 — a factor worth considering for anyone investing in individual Portuguese shares rather than through ETFs.
The Portuguese market has traditionally been oriented towards energy, utilities and banking, with a limited presence of listed technology companies compared with other European markets.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Portuguese market as liquid as the German or French markets?
No — being smaller, the PSI generally has lower trading volumes than indices such as the DAX or CAC 40, which can translate into wider spreads on some stocks.
Is it better to invest in individual Portuguese shares or via an ETF?
It depends on your goals: an ETF on a broader index offers diversification; individual PSI stocks suit investors with a specific view on those companies, accepting the market's lower liquidity.
